<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3427921, member: 19463&quot;]This brings up a subject of interest to me.&nbsp; Parthian fourrees are not at all common.&nbsp; I have seen two.&nbsp; Both, including my Mithradates I, were on spread flans which I believe might indicate the coin being overstruck with enough force to erase the undertype or, possibly, that the original coin was flattened without dies before it was struck.&nbsp; If Parthian fourrees really were not common but they overstruck some Roman denarii, it is possible that the mint overstriking did not realize that this coin was plated.&nbsp; I would like to see other Parthian fourrees or any studies on the matter. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]910134[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
