Title: Re: silver roman needing id Post by: probono on February 28, 2012, 10:57:20 PM Looks like a limes denarius, rather than a proper silver one to me.
Title: Re: silver roman needing id Post by: Chef Geoff on February 28, 2012, 11:04:23 PM yes it does look a little moulded ummmmm ???
Title: Re: silver roman needing id Post by: seeker on February 28, 2012, 11:16:03 PM yes its got a fuzzy look about it but got the weight and feel of silver so ??
Title: Re: silver roman needing id Post by: Chef Geoff on February 28, 2012, 11:30:24 PM No nothing, even if it was a limes Denarius it is contemporary with the normal official coinage and has a place in any collection.
One theory on Limes Denari is that they were military coins issued by travelling mints, attached to the Legions. Title: Re: silver roman needing id Post by: seeker on February 28, 2012, 11:37:47 PM interesting stuff thanks :)
