<p>[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7518677, member: 110504"][USER=89220]@montynj3417[/USER], I'm needing the 'siver dance.' No, that's good enough without any details ...no selfie (or, God forbid, video) required! But just from Spink 2015 (easiest thing to get off the shelf), you nailed the mint mark. Spink calls it a "pheon," and it corresponds to the third and fourth issues, 1561-5. Wondering if the mark on the obverse, where you'd expect it --from late medieval precedent, at least-- is the same thing, minus the vertical part. (Strike? doubt it; maybe from the original engraving. ...How <i>were </i>Elizabethan dies engraved, <i>anyway</i>? Guessing they'd advanced beyond punches....)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
