[QUOTE="Ardatirion, post: 1090815, member: 9204"]Which firms are not using Göbl? There are no other works like MIR 36 for this period. Zschuke is the closest thing you'll find, but he only covers Trier mint (or what he thinks is Trier mint). I confess that I have not taken the time to attempt to read MIR 36, given my overall lack of understanding of German. I can stumble through French, but not so much with German. If you can't/don't have the time to read a scholarly work, you can usually get a good grasp of the it by reading a book review. There's one by Nicholas Holmes in the June 2001 NumCirc, p. 168. A word of caution, Göbl is notorious for being a bit impulsive in his assigning of mints. This is much less of a problem here than it is in his works on Hunnic or Kushan coinage. Anyway, the mint classifications for this period are based almost entirely on style. When you look at the plates in Göbl (which are very extensive), you'll be able to see a rather clear evolution. There are too many mints and too many emissions within those mints for me to post examples of each. Where did you find the book for 150-175? My shelf could use it![/QUOTE]
