<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 3532441, member: 88212&quot;]In my memory of what I heard about the history and chronology of the Lebanese gold merchants. They first began making their excess gold into copies of popular gold coins. The earliest products they made were better quality fineness than the real coins. They either decided to copy rare dates, were requested to make rare dates or just noticed that the rare dates sold easier or better than the common dates. The Maria Terresa thalers were accepted all over the world and were copied all over the world many with the same date no matter when they were made. The Lebanese were just following that path to acceptance of their product at the start.</p><p>I don&#039;t know if their modern products are debased value. People pursuing this research should start with the scholarly texts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
