<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3275081, member: 19463"]The plummeting size/value of the Roman coinage is a major topic we colectors study. Perhaps the finest example is what happened to the Falling Horseman coin between 350 and 360 AD. The first were well made had silver and were over 22mm. The last were scrappy and tiny. Between the extremes were several gradual steps.
