I would have to check Maheshwari again, but silver fineness is somewhere under 10%, although the flan was apparently worked to bring out the silver, like 3rd century antoninianii. The final appearance depends on both the original state of conservation, and on how much the seller is willing to risk completely pickling the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently picked up a bunch of these out of an apparent hoard, this is about average appearance once properly cleaned [ATTACH=full]1263766[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
