<p>[QUOTE="Aleph, post: 5189429, member: 89969"]I couldn’t read the legend either. With all the ants in circulation, it seems easiest just to plate one of these. I have several plated anonymous quadrantes made to appear as either a denarius or an aureus. Plating an already counterfeit coin seems like double work. For lime denarii, the advantage of plating a base metal counterfeit core is that the official examples were of course silver so you save the metal cost by making the base metal core. But when the official ants were already very low value compared to the target aureus, why not just start from one filched from circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Super cool coin in any event![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
