[QUOTE="markgoldhunter, post: 671435, member: 1958"] So if you find an old coin sometimes the only way to date the coin is to know your roman numerals. as I understand it m=1000 d=500 c=100 l=50 x=10 v=5 i=1, but I have recently found 2 'one tenth of a pound' florins that have me scratching my head showing the numerals r and b. The one on the left is marked mdcccl.rrbii. and the one on the right shows mdccclbi . So I can only assume the r is 10 and the b is 5. this would make their dates 1877 and 1856 respectively. Anyone have any other thoughts. Either way I am pretty rapped to have found these fantastic old coins. Cheers Mark. [/QUOTE]
