[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 19185, member: 57463"]It is nice of you to ask us. It makes me wonder if "we" should just meet behind the scenes in private email and decide not to answer questions like this, but just tell you what books to read. You coin is very easy to identify from the Date and the Minter's Initials. If you want to collect world coins, you need a STANDARD CATALOG OF WORLD COINS. You can find one new for less than this coin costs. Used editions from the late 1980s and early 1990s are cheaper still and perhaps more useful. The "deep cuts" are called "chop marks." Finding out about them will take more work, and an exact answer may not be found, but a general answer will probably meet your needs. Actually answering your questions would be doing your homework for you. When "test time" comes, you'll fail. If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach him to fish, he can feed himself for life. Let us know what you find out about your coin. Michael[/QUOTE]
