<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2411168, member: 19463&quot;]Here is an opinion from one who probably has more fourrees than anyone reading this (my database says 111 but that may include errors):</p><p>Most fourrees are next to worthless, ugly and not a great example of what they are.&nbsp; If you are going to get just one fourree to represent the breed, I&#039;d look for one that shows good details of what it is that makes a fourree a fourree.&nbsp; JA&#039;s group shot shows a nice Domitian.&nbsp; It is ugly but has a nice seam showing how the foil overlapped on the surface and has peeled high areas as well as a good amount of retained silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; I certainly have many that are much worse in many regards but many of them have some redeeming characteristic that made me want them.&nbsp; If you are going to buy just any old fourree, don&#039;t pay much.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A Parthian drachm fourree is not easy to find.&nbsp; I am of the opinion that this Mithradates I was overstruck on a Roman fourree denarius and that there is probably a similar explanation for most Parthians.&nbsp; I can&#039;t prove it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]498350[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone needs a fourree serrate denarius.&nbsp; I gave this one away to someone who then stopped posting here.&nbsp; Lost interest?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]498351[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I always liked the way the core fell in a crescent on Antony&#039;s cheek.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]498352[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>There are many reasons for buying a coin.&nbsp; I like to have one even if it is weak.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
