<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8299542, member: 19463&quot;]I can&#039;t say I see a list of mintmarks helping in this particular case.&nbsp; The problem is that the way we of 2022 make letters and the way it was done &#039;back when&#039; is not the same AND the letters A, H, K, M, and N are the worst offenders.&nbsp; (Not so???) Furry Frog saw a K which struck me as reasonable looking at the bend in that right upright.&nbsp; H and A alternate on which is closed at the top and the number of strokes in M and N are not always clear even when coins are high grade without deposits.&nbsp; Recently {<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Citation_needed" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Citation_needed" rel="nofollow">Citation needed</a>}, did we not here on CT have a coin previously read as HT for Heraclea Thracia reinterpreted as AT and called Antioch?&nbsp; Second officina coins Antioch at one point read ANB while Amiens&#039; only workshop reads AMB unless the middle letter is crowded and reads wrong.&nbsp; The point is that we really need to pay attention to style clues for tips in some cases and to keep an open mind in every case.&nbsp; It is safer not to know something than it is to be sure you know when the facts prove you wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
