<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1989291, member: 19463&quot;]This is not an easy answer because the &#039;experts&#039; do not agree.&nbsp; The distinctive features seem to be whether or not there is a PP in front of the faces and whether the denomination mark is a plain X or a crossed *.&nbsp; Your old one has the PP; both are crossed.&nbsp; Roman Silver Coins (Seaby) says 7 is no PP and 8 is PP then assigning higher numbers to other types by this family of moneyers.&nbsp; Banti reserves 7 for the plain X coins (rare) and makes other little distinctions until the PP appears at 14.&nbsp; I do not have the original Babelon (Ardatirion?) to check that. In any event the difference suggests both of yours are at least reversed with the new being a 7 in RSC and the old an 8.&nbsp; Confused?&nbsp; I am.&nbsp; Sear dodged the matter by listing it in Millennium as &#039;sometimes with PP before&#039;.&nbsp; The dies are lettered (you have O on the reverse).&nbsp;&nbsp; The new one is worth at least 4x the old.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
