<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3667038, member: 112&quot;]To be honest, I dunno. Never really cared to find out. I&#039;m reasonably certain you&#039;re aware that I don&#039;t own any of the coins anymore, given how long you&#039;ve been a member of the forum. But pinning down the specific mintage, as in 1st striking, 2nd striking, 3rd etc, of any given coin from this era, as well as several other eras, can be done with reasonable certainty in many cases. In fact it has already been done with a great many coins, and that knowledge is readily available provided one has the right books. With French coins, I&#039;ve still got quite a few of those books, but not all anymore, I&#039;ve sold some to other collectors who had need or desire of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even so, I&#039;ll look, once I have to time, and report back to you what I find - if anything. You could very well be right, there may not be a way to tell in this case. But in many, there is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
