[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3750288, member: 85693"]Very interesting, RC - I was not aware of the silver fineness discrepancies between the various mints. Kind of along the same lines, a while back I posted a muled Trajan Decius /Herennius Etruscus or Hostillian - it seems there were a lot of weird things going on at the mints around that time. From my original post: "I recently picked up an odd Trajan Decius antoninianus cheap on eBay that I was having a great deal of trouble attributing. It features PIETAS AVGG with Mercury on the reverse, not a type normally issued for Trajan Decius. Stumped, I contacted Richard at the wonderful Four Bad Years website (one of my favorites: [URL]http://sonic.net/~marius1/mysite/[/URL]). Richard told me this was a mule, a Trajan Decius Milan mint obverse (IMP CAE TRA DEC AVG legend) muled with a Herennius Etruscus or Hostillian reverse (they both used the PIETAS AVGG with Mercury type)..."
