[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3535395, member: 98035"]I've owned a few fourrees, but they are usually transient in my collection. One of my favorites that I sold about a year ago, a fourree quinarius of celtic Gaul, Arverni tribe, circa mid-1st century BC [ATTACH=full]939677[/ATTACH] This one saw a little circulation until the test cut did its job and exposed the bronze. My guess is that it was simply discarded after that; maybe the unfortunate owner was relieved of his head or one of his hands? I collect oddities of the Indo-Sassanian series, and that includes fourrees, which are actually quite rare [ATTACH=full]939678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]939679[/ATTACH] Added: These were both bought from the same seller in the same large batch of coins which I believe was a singular large hoard. Thus, they probably circulated and the plating came off underground.[/QUOTE]
