[QUOTE="Cucumbor, post: 118729, member: 4298"]Thank you Aidan :o To answer the first question, I'm not a prospector, so I don't "find" them, but there are a lot of them all around in the ground, as far as I know. Talking about coins sellers, I'm quite sure there are not as many in France than in the USA as there are far less collectors around there. About mintmarks, you can find a list of them in the introduction of any of the 3 volumes of RCV (Roman coins and their values) : p 71 in the vol I. London has many different combinations of letters such as L, ML, MLL, MLN, MSL, PLN, PLON, AVG, AVGOB, AVGPS and operated from AD 287 to 325. Beware of confusion with Lyon mint (LG, LP, LVG, PL, PLG.....). Camulodunum was only operating from AD 287 to 296, with C or CL as mintmark, and only for Carausius and Allectus. Not so many occasions to make mistakes... Hope it helps Cucumbor[/QUOTE]
