<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 4954933, member: 87200"]Good point. Just think about all of the sestertii, dupondii, and ases that were melted down or oftentimes just overstruck by the Byzantines. I think that the bad money drove out the good resulting in hoarding for the rainy day, especially for intrinsically valuable silver. Because of the troubled times a lot of the stuff that was buried in pots or amphoras was never recovered...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
