<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3672591, member: 87200&quot;]I&#039;m kind of re-phrasing my question above. To have coins become debased over time is normal. To see an uptick in the quality of the metal in the third century (apparently) in the line of Alexandrian tets is very unusual compared to Roman coins in general. For example I have a silvery Nero and a tet of Commodus which looks to be all potin, why would Maximinus or Severus Alexander before him decide to improve the quality/quantity of the silver alloy?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]986960[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]986961[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
