<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 2762351, member: 84179"]I did this when I was younger. It's pretty easy to learn the characters for the 18th-19th century emperors as well as the Board of Works and Board of Revenue "mints" (seemed to be 90%+ from these 2 mints in "junque" boxes ). The Krause World Coin catalogues 1700-1800 and 1800-1900 have some decent basic info to get started. The old editions work fine and you can sometimes find them cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
