<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3694673, member: 19463&quot;]I agree.&nbsp; Before I can see value in such flyspecking, I need to gain an understanding of how the distinctions were assigned significance to something (dating, die cutter?).&nbsp; Are we to believe that each moneyer cut his own dies in a coded sequence based on the fleur shape?&nbsp; Were the names on the coins the parties responsible for the weight and all dies were cut together?&nbsp; Are there die links showing two moneyer reverses sharing an obverse?&nbsp; There is too much I don&#039;t know to collect these at the subtype level.&nbsp; The references I have seen state &#039;that&#039; but expect me to take the &#039;how&#039; and &#039;why&#039; on faith.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the advice.&nbsp; Perhaps 20 would not be too early?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
