<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2152127, member: 44132&quot;]I do not know the answer Mikey.&nbsp; I tried to look for a listing of banker&#039;s marks, but I came up empty handed. Bankers marks were somewhat prevalent during the Republic but nearly disappeared during the Imperial period.&nbsp; Banker&#039;s marks are believed to show that a particular coin was scrutinized at some point by someone and found to be OK.&nbsp; I do not know why they stopped using them.&nbsp; Certainly forgeries and plated coins continued into the Imperial period, so why not continue to show good coins with a mark?&nbsp; I read somewhere that the Imperial portrait was considered sacrosanct, but I think this is just a guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
