I'll look it up in a minute. I'm not trying to be a spelling Nazi, but conform and confirm have very different meanings in English my friend. The...
Dare we start a "boring" thread of emperorreceivingsomethingfromJupiter coins? Maximian... [ATTACH]
Yeah, it looks like B dot to me as well. It doesn't change the reference though. 920 covers mint marks A-dot to H-dot.

A stunning coin, AN!

It doesn't look like BD, just mineral deposits. BD is usually accompanied by pitting, and if the coin had that much BD on it, it would be...
The right-right coin from G-N arrived today. It's lovely, but the obverse is quite glossy and it's tough to find an angle that doesn't include...
It's a lovely coin, and I think your pic represents it very well. I know how tough it is to image these jet-black, glossy coin. You always have to...
