<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1781553, member: 19463&quot;]Interesting!&nbsp; I have never heard of this book but researching I see it was from 1965.&nbsp; I collected ancients in 1965 but did not know it then either.&nbsp; &nbsp; I wonder if the author was referring to the debased silver of the later 3rd century that was so light on silver that they had to issue coins with a silver wash.&nbsp; These are not counterfeits but were the normal silver bearing coins of that period.&nbsp; Most today have lost their silvering but we sometimes see coins posted here that have part or all of it remaining.&nbsp; These are a completely different subject than fourrees of the good silver issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
