<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 3418753, member: 42034&quot;]Well, I&#039;m guessing based on the Braziian counterstamping of 8 reales to 960 reis crown during the 1810 - 1827? period, that at the very least the coins would have to be reheated in a furnace to soften them.&nbsp; Also ancients were routinely struck hot. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not familiar with this incident although I&#039;ve read that there was a currency crisis during the Imperatorial Era, perhaps from 50 BC &amp; on.&nbsp; Thus many types would probably be Imperatorial denarii and not earlier Roman Republican types. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve a decent # of high end Imperatorial denarii (well maybe 4) in high grades.&nbsp; I can have them analyzed by XRF to get the trace compositions.&nbsp; If you have any Phraates didrachmas someone could also analyze these to see if we have any matches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
