[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 24229, member: 708"]Another thing i find fascinating about hammered issues is that to date them you have to know how to read the codes. So some issues can be distingished by bifoliate crowns, others by trifoliate. Some have say 9 tressels others have 8, some have fleurs at the cusps others don't. Annulet stops, lombardics m's and n's, reversed letters. All of which tell you which issue and what date. It's kinda like solving a crime, a modern coin with a date slapped on it just totally lacks that interactive challenge.[/QUOTE]
