I wanted to see the Krause catalogue to know and understand more about these coins, but I found some notations I couldn't decipher! Could you help me understand what the notes below the price chart means? And also the numbers between brackets next to the dates, what do they mean? At least I did some research and found out what the initials MS-M mean, they were the initials of some officials working at the minting house. My problem is basically with the 1885/1 (86) etc. dates. Could you explain it to me and perhaps post some example in which the difference between a 1885/1 (86) coin and a 1885 (86) can be seen? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

I have no idea what this might look like and don't have the time to check right now, but I can try to look for some examples in the morning. Report this Post to the Staff
