<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 5132491, member: 72790&quot;]My own thought was that as later silver coins were increasingly debased, those of the Severans&nbsp; were pulled from circulation and saved and hoarded. As the brass had no intrinsic value they would likely be the ones to stay in circulation continuously and thus be subject to wear and tear. That&#039;s just an educated guess. I don&#039;t know if there is any evidence of this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
