<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 5376976, member: 72790"]I notice that your coins are referred to as Bi Nummus, which I assume is "Billon". I know these coins were given a silver wash but do you know if the basic metal under that very thin plating contained any silver, a small percentage of an alloy that contained any silver? Once the the wash is off the coin they always seemed to look like just plain bronze.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
