<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 3387353, member: 84744"]Thanks, Doug. Warren has a page of late fourrées that I'm sure you already know about, but just in case there's another person interested besides us three, here it is: <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/imit/imitTD.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/imit/imitTD.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/imit/imitTD.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I'm glad so few are interested, because that allowed me to be the only bidder on the recent Triton A.K. collection lot made almost entirely of unofficial 3rd century coins. There were a Decius and two T-bones included. [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] will be interested to see this coin in particular:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]899794[/ATTACH] </p><p>The obverse is a die match to one of his T-bone fourrées on the above page, while the reverse is a die match to one of his Decius (which he notes is also die-matched to a Prieur coin). I think this speaks to the scarcity of these things. (These die-matched coins look so unofficial I don't see how they could fool anyone, though; they were likely used near to or outside the borders of the Empire.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
