<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 2062176, member: 72790&quot;]I am aware of the existence of plated coins known as fourees. I have a couple in my collection. I understand some were made by official Roman mints in times of civil stress. What has me somewhat perplexed is how to properly price such a coin. I am looking at a coin dealer&#039;s denarius of Augustus, RIC 42 A. We are somewhat in disagreement if it is a fouree but it looks to me that small pieces of silver have flaked off, especially on the rim. Otherwise it appear to be a fairly decent looking coin, probably minted about 19BC, some ten years or so after the end of the civil wars, so not a time of great financial stress. Because it does look attractive I am willing to purchase it as a fouree but have no idea how to price a fouree. I am assuming they go for less but by what percentage? If the coin were priced at $250 as a genuine piece of solid silver, what would be a fair offer as a fouree? Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
