Hello, i recently acquired this coin as part of an uncleaned lot. the observe legend says "r dacic" which is probably "GER DACICVS" and that leads to Trajan (http://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=obv_legendCondensed_text:*rdaci*+AND+fulltext:standing). The letters appears to be in silver plus other spots. Yet the coin has patina. Did Trajan have silvered coins or did I deciphered the legend wrong? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Thomas.
FYI for any newbies, a fourree is a coin with a thin layer of silver covering a copper core. They were usually made by counterfeiters who would try to pass them off as legitimate silver denarii. The assumption is that they were more or less contemporary with the coins they are imitating.
