<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1869765, member: 9204&quot;]Apologies are in order. While that link doesn&#039;t entirely elucidate which issues were struck were, it certainly does answer the question. Mea culpa!</p><p><br /></p><p>Not describing mint location is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Nine times out of ten, Krause neglects to note where coins were struck. At least in this case, they say, &quot;Coins dated 1866-1868 struck at the Hong Kong Mint; coins without mintmarks dated 1872-1901, were struck at the British Royal Mint.&quot; One of my favorite moments in numismatics is when I was searching the internet for the location of the Chilean mint in the late 19th century. Krause was mute on the subject, but Google gave me a delicious Chilean corn soup with jalapeno mint salsa that I use to this day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
