<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2105832, member: 19463&quot;]I find it interesting that coins of this period are more common seen plated than many periods earlier and later.&nbsp; I wonder if this might suggest some being issued by the other side during civil wars but there will never be proof.&nbsp; Years ago an elderly collector told me of seeing three Ides Mar fourrees in a drawer of one London dealer who would not sell them due to the then prevalent disrespect for fourrees in general (they would have thrown all of these out).&nbsp;&nbsp; Certainly some but not all were simple types so would be easier to engrave believable dies but I tend to suspect that is a minor factor on why there are so many Imperatorial fourrees.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]397000[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397001[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397002[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397003[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397004[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397005[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]397008[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
