<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 37435, member: 112&quot;]I forgot the privy marks long ago my friend&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I am trying to simplify things greatly. So my question as posted before - </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot; Now then, NOS says he has measured the coin at 22mm. I think it reasonable that the orignal measurement of the coin could have been 23mm, but due to wear 22 can be accepted. Can we agree that the measurement limits the possibilities as to what the coin may or may not be - yes ? &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you agree with that statement yes or no ? </p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside - I would be curious to know what Ciani lists as the diameters of the 1/16th and the 1/8th ecus. For if Ciani does not list the 1/16th or the 1/8th as being either 22mm or 23mm - then I do not see how it could possibly be either of them since the coin in question is 22mm.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well yes and no. For what you and I both depend on as a definitive source - cgb - agree with Gadoury &amp; Duplessy regarding the dimensions of the coins. Sadly - there is no listing on cgb for any of these coins struck in the year 1704. But they do list them for several other years - and in all cases the info provided by Gadoury &amp; Duplessy is accurate.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We do agree on those comments&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They do not - I have posted pics of every issue of the correct size ( diameter ) both authors list.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The question as to why Ciani list the design and they don&#039;t is the one that has me puzzled. But then I&#039;ve been puzzled by these same authors before. As have you when dealing with some of my coins&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The obvious thing that I think you&#039;re missing is the diameter of the coin. To me that is the key given the information about the coin that we have. I would just about kill to know the weight - as THAT would determine a lot !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
