<p>[QUOTE="philologus_1, post: 8318636, member: 92212"]Thanks Donna, I suspect you are correct. But even with that, the stand alone word "marks" (separate from the chips comment) baffled me. I do not recall seeing it before on an ancients label. Bankers marks. Counter-marks. Brush marks. Maybe even edge marks (though more likely on a modern coin to denote wheel marks). But just 'marks'? </p><p><br /></p><p>I see obvious surface marks, but they don't seem particularly comment worthy for tets in this grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom-line: A friend asked me exactly what "marks" referenced on this example and I was unable to give an answer with certainty. After looking and researching I began to wonder if perhaps "marks" was a term with a meaning beyond what I know.
