<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2865229, member: 19463&quot;] <ul> <li>Thanks.&nbsp; I have long held the opinion that we need not be too dogmatic over our ID systems when we get to the point we need numbers like &quot;10cf1&quot; and rely on arrows vs. spears to separate them.&nbsp; I refuse to believe that the mint blew a whistle when they heard one Edward was replaced by another and made everyone trade in their dies before resuming striking.&nbsp; Of course this is worse when we are dealing with Henrys named John or Parthian kings named Arsakes.&nbsp; I&#039;m fine with the idea of owning a coin that fell from the dies when one Edward had died and the next had not been crowned.&nbsp; Such will never be proved.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect English but have wondered about my Romans.&nbsp; What did the mint do while dies for a new ruler were being prepared?&nbsp; Did they just sit there for an hour or a day?&nbsp; We have no records from Rome that bear on the question. </li> </ul><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
