<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3109547, member: 72790"]I would not be too concerned about the somewhat lighter weight. I don't know if Antioch was minting their coins al marco or not but circulation is going to knock off some of the original weight. By the way my father was a master metallurgist and while I did not follow in his footsteps as a career I have always had a fascination for the physics and chemistry of metals, or at least in so far as it affects practical applications. My studies tell me the ancients were far more knowledgeable and proficient in metallurgy than we give them credit for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
