Dutchgulden Pillar of the Community Netherlands 1204 Posts	Posted 12/12/2013 4:39 pm Hello, I saw this Tiberius denarius for sale for about 20-25 euro's. Its not a whole denarius unfortunatly but the details are quite sharp. What do you think, is it a genuine coin? To be clear: I havent decided to buy it, even if its the real deal. its an affordable tiberius which makes it an interesting coin! thanks in advance!

augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 12/12/2013 9:41 pm It is probably a broken fourree ancient imitation. Look at 9:00 on the reverse edge. Doesn't that show silver foil wrapped over a copper core, which is how fourrees were made? Official denarii of Tiberius were made in high-quality silver. The copper look to the interior, although we don't have the right photo to see it well, shows it is a fourree. Report this Post to the Staff
