<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 2979220, member: 91461&quot;]I have 2 RR coins that have perplexed me for a while and would appreciate all your expertise on.</p><p>Both have great men&#039;s names...but neither, at least to my understanding, is of them directly but rather relatives of theirs.</p><p>The 1st is a C Marius Capito that I&#039;d been trying to add to my collection for some time. It clearly is not pure silver. There is even some green, possible patina (it is not flaky like BD) on the left of the coin where you can see some bronze. The listing said &quot;plated&quot;. Is that the same as a fouree. If not, what&#039;s the dif?</p><p>And 2nd is Faustus Cornelius Sulla (I believe nephew of the great dictator L Sulla). The silver on this one appears to be so thin that it looks almost painted on, though I have seen other versions of this coin with the same look. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]732674[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]732675[/ATTACH] </p><p>C Marius CF Capito</p><p>Plated AR Denarius</p><p>17MM </p><p>81 BC</p><p>[ATTACH=full]732676[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]732677[/ATTACH] </p><p>Faustus Cornelius Sulla</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>3.41 gr</p><p>18.5 MM</p><p>56 BC</p><p><br /></p><p>So that&#039;s them. What are all your thoughts? Plated, fouree or what?</p><p>And please post any Marius, Sulla or any other coins you think relevant![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
