[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4600729, member: 19463"]Does this proposed date change apply to this type only or all the FEL TEMP REPARATIO original series? The only thing uninteresting about the FTR coins is the undeniable fact that they are common. With what must be about 5000 variations using that legend from 15 mints and five rulers, there is too much material for one person to comprehend fully in one lifetime. How this is called uninteresting can only be traced to the possibility of finding 90% of the coins in junkboxes. Regarding the accuracy of the writings of historians with an ax to grind, politicians and authors willing to create facts as desired, it is hard to see how anything can be known. The main skill of a student of mankind is lie sifting.
