<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2748974, member: 19463&quot;]Experts will tell you that they are all unofficial and I will tell you that anyone that uses &#039;all&#039; in their edicts will probably regret it.&nbsp; Most fourrees were made by counterfeiters scamming the public.&nbsp; I note there are more from some periods than others and propose that some were made for a reason other than pure greed.&nbsp; It could be something as outlandish as coins made to discredit the issuer of the &#039;real&#039; ones.&nbsp; Could politician A have coins made in the style of those made by politician B hoping people would think B was a scam artist?&nbsp; Did those entrusted to make coins for politician C also make some on the side for their own benefit?&nbsp; In the Imperatorial period, a hotbed for fourrees, coins were made on the road and in places not as well controlled as the central mint at Rome. We, probably, can never prove anything but we definitely can never prove something, including an official fourree, never existed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A few are below.&nbsp; I regret I do not have one of the EID MAR fourrees.&nbsp; They exist.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]629169[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]629170[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]629171[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]629172[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
