<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2614015, member: 19463&quot;]If I were going to give a primer here on fourrees it would probably be similar to the four pages here which I posted in 1997.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fourree.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fourree.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fourree.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In the past 20 years, I have obtained several nicer ones that I might add to the discussion but my opinions on the concepts are there.&nbsp; The vast majority of fourrees were fakes made by counterfeiters and had nothing to do with the official mint.&nbsp; If that is true for 99% of examples, tat does not prove the case put forward by our mainstream experts that ALL fit this description.&nbsp; They are a subject that will never be studied fully which is probably OK since the establishment professionals have enough trouble getting funding to advance studies in official coins.&nbsp; I really discourage you from paying high prices for these coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You think he was happy when he saw the silver under the gold here???&nbsp; Gold sticks to silver better than to copper so this coin could have circulated quite a while before it was discovered. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]572436[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite fourree from recent years....or half of it, anyway. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]572438[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
