A lot of older Chinese had mint marks as certain repeatable dots or dashes, but a lot of Ching simply have some bumps that I do not see having any intended purpose. If you look closely, there are a couple of other similar bumps near the rim on this coin as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read something about this in Hartill&#039;s Ching Coinage book put out by the RNS, but cannot remember all of the details.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
