<p>[QUOTE="Poetheraven1, post: 1690414, member: 27225"]Israeli coins are very difficult to date as many of the characters look almost the same. Too bad they don't institute a numbering system that is a little clearer. My question concerns mint marks. I find many Israeli coins with what appear to be mint marks but are not listed in Krause's catalog. The particular one I have been asking about is the 1 new Sheqel dated 1994 JE 5754. There are others of course, but this is the one I have in front of me. On the reverse of the coin is what appears to be a chalice or wine goblet and below that is the letter o. I can find no mention of an o mint mark for this coin in Krause's catalog. What does the o stand for? What is the significance of the (f) and (u) listed for this coin under KM# 160a, and how does this help me to identify which one of these I have? Regards,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
