Domitilla II - Silver denarius or plated?
« on: December 01, 2021, 12:59:36 am »
Hi all

I purchased this coin from a reputable dealer. I saw photo's on the dealer site and it has been represented as Cohen 4 silver denarius 19mm 2,74g. Now I have it in the hand I have a nagging concern it might be a plated fourree.

Does anyone have any insights please?

Thanks

John

It looks plated, but when I look at acsearch, I find only plated specimens. Seems to be normal for Domitilla :)

Yes, CNG writes "Not included in the new edition of RIC as all the know examples are plated hybrids."

Thank you - that clarified my thinking. I'll take it up with the dealer from here.
