BTW does anyone have a good reference (website, book) on mint marks, mint official marks, designer marks and so on? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Chilian New Member Netherlands 41 Posts	Posted 02/16/2011 2:49 pm Thanks, but I already found those. I googled for the mint official's mark of Karl-August Wallroth, but it seems different to me. The mark I'm looking foor looks like a 'M' or possibly a 'W', with a crown on top. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 02:36 am The "M-or-W symbol" on Swedish coins is actually a tiny crowned portrait with long hair. The best pic I've seen of it on the 'Net is the second pic of this recent CU forum thread. I don't know what the little portrait means; neither do the folks over on CU. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
