They either have a dot, multiple dots, or no dot.</p><p>Chris mentioned it could be a control symbol used by the mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does anyone have insight or the ability to tell me anything more about this coin? More specifically the star?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you for any information.</p><p>-greg</p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn5.coinnection.com/1000_105e1b1ec2f1908f78b3d39ded86560ee315220e0f9352ab.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn8.coinnection.com/1000_450c1051f327dac6b3f4c6fdc24a9d30a25220d12a4dac8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
