<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3663166, member: 19463"]As you go through the book, you will see many spelled out that obviously and others that require a little code breaking. You will even find occasions where there are two mints active in London at the same time. That is where I found the book most helpful. Advanced students place more emphasis on minor differences and separate the coins into classes beyond the scope of the little book. For them, this will be a waste of money but it fit my needs at the state of my hobby at present. Whether I advance to a point I care about the difference between a IIIa and a IIIb remains to be seen. I just appreciate help separating the John's from the Richard's.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
