<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2400373, member: 19463&quot;]At 50-50 silver coins still look more silver than the tets I have seen.&nbsp; That is the average attributed to denarii of Septimius.&nbsp; Certainly there is a variation in mix but I think a lot of the variations we see are factors of preservation as much as mixture.&nbsp; I don&#039;t claim my Decius to be better silver but I&#039;d never call it billon either.&nbsp; Does someone know of a test of the content of these coins?&nbsp; I&#039;m not comfortable with eyeball guesses I might make without better calibration of the &#039;equipment&#039;.&nbsp; Like JA&#039;s beautiful Herennius Etruscus that started this thread, mine is a three dot workshop product.&nbsp; They did good work. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]494550[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
