<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2775700, member: 44210&quot;]This was my first denarius purchased, which I&#039;ve had for nearly six years now. For the last couple of years however I&#039;ve had some doubts about it. Not that its a modern fake but rather that it possibly might be a fouree. I don&#039;t know about the weight ranges of Vespasian denarii but 2.99 grams seems a bit low, and also on a couple of the devices I see a faint glint of orange/light orange (it can best be seen where the spear and the chair meet on the reverse, the arm holding the spear, and the T and X in the reverse legend; I&#039;ll see if I can photograph this accurately). I&#039;m probably making a big deal out of nothing but this doubt about my first denarius and a decent one to boot is kind of annoying. Hopefully it is official since I don&#039;t collect fourees, and the fact that it has no breaks in the surface that expose the copper core like a lot of fourees have is encouraging. Thanks for any help!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]641094[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
