[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1369973, member: 75105"]Trying to dig up some more info. I need to establish the RIC number for it. The wildwinds site says it's 249 AD ONLY, but this says 249-251. I would think NGC would be correct, but they have been wrong before. I'm also trying to find out the purity of the silver used. I THINK it's 40% but IDK for sure. I knew recent countries debased their silver low like Canada and England, but I didn't realize ancient countries did as well. I thought they were making big states out of gold and thought it wasn't worth much. You would of thought the ancient silver would be high purity but it looks like it's not the case. Although NGC calls it a double denarius, it's actual name is a[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] Antoninianus. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
