[QUOTE="bgarg, post: 346527, member: 1876"]Both of these books have a section for copper punchmarks. But they talk mostly about the minting process and some big hoard finds etc. for copper punchmarks. Punchmarks are classified based on the symbols and it doesn't matter if they are on silver or copper. If the symbols are identical on silver and copper, both of them will belong to same series, empire, ruler and janapada. While browsing my books on this subject, I found another good book on Punchmarks written by P. Gregory Warden with title "A Classification of the Symbols on Indian Silver Punch-marked coins". It says that the author completed his M.A. in the same subject from Bryn, Mawr College, Pennsylvania and then received his doctorate from department of Near Eastern archaeology of same college.
