Peter S Thomas Valued Member Australia 216 Posts	Posted 11/13/2012 11:03 pm Firstly Trout, Mate she better get that lanced quick....Something like that could give her blood poisoning if she's not careful. On to serious matters, when is a dot a dot and not a Cud. Taking the original photos as examples I'd say that photo 1 is definitely a dot, (punctuation in the initials) while the other three I's say are more Cuds. I mean there is not reason I can think of for the mint to put marks on the dies where these are. Don't get me wrong here, I like all these photos, and would really like to have these coins or similar in my collection. I'm just trying to understand the precise difference between a dot mint mark and a Cud. Cheers Peter Report this Post to the Staff
