<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 5080563, member: 26302&quot;]A friend of mine is a medieval coiner for fun, and he said he was able to reproduce late Roman silver wash coins by roughly reproducing what we have read the Romans did. We read they took planchets with low levels of silver and put them in casks of seawater, replacing the seawater periodically. This leeched copper from the surface, so when struck the remaining silver liquefied and coated the coin a silver color. He did the same in small batches, and indeed turned mainly copper planchets into &quot;silver&quot; coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
