<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2685310, member: 19463&quot;]Those interested in what I have to say on fourrees may visit my several pages on the subject but those more interested in saying you are too good to have them will not be interested in learning how you might spot the ones with little or no core exposure. Recently, I have seen people paying way too much for them but the fact remains that most are considerably more rare than the coins hey copied and probably made up significant parts of the coins circulating in some periods.&nbsp; There are RR issues that are much more often seen in fourree than others.&nbsp; Experts have all the answers but I never trust anyone who has all the answers without understanding the question.&nbsp; Those who do not study fourrees are most in danger of being folled by them.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fourree.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fourree.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fourree.html</a></p><p>Not all are silver over copper. </p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/byzfour.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some are even silver underneath.&nbsp; I wanted one of these a long time before I found this one. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]601149[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>On two separate occasions I have reported a die duplicate coin to the fourree below that shows no core but weighs less than mine.&nbsp; Both times the auction removed the coin.&nbsp; I have not seen it for a long time so I suspect it was sold to someone.&nbsp; I wonder if they know.&nbsp; That coin shows the date OE in exergue (off flan on mine).&nbsp; I really wonder what ever happened to it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]601151[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
