<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 2199802, member: 72790"]I have read that the reason for the serrated issues was to show users that the coins were solid silver not plated fouree's . Supposedly saved the users from cutting into the coins' rims. Fourees were common in the First Century BC, so maybe, but any good forger could cast the coins as serrated, then plate the coin. Anyone else hear of any reasons for the serration?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
