The "m" could be of Phocas, and many of the SB 812 are overstruck on folles of Phocas. The reverse might be the Delta rather than half of M, and the XX and the weight fit the SB 812. Moreover, I did not see many SB 1010 overstruck. Problem is that there are not many SB 812, nor SB 1010 out there to compare. Need to do more research on that. Like an old police case - after 2 years, a new lead appeared.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
