<p>[QUOTE="Fugio1, post: 4960930, member: 89970"]If your coin shares a die with an obvious fourre, it is probably a fourre. Your coin is almost certainly not tooled in my opinion looking at your photos and other die linked coins. I suggest you measure the specific gravity to confirm. It's quite simple to do, all you need is a gram scale (accurate to 1/100 g), a cup of water and a piece of thread. You can search youtube for SG techniques. Accuracy will not be precise but will be close enough to determine if the coin is mostly copper or mostly silver. repeat the process and record several attempts. Measure other denarii that you are pretty sure are silver as test samples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
