Hi EC2,
I specialize in collecting coins of
Augustus Caesar.
Why would an "uncertain
mint" designation lower the value of a coin in a collector's mind? The dealer/auctioneer is just being honest. I think it is better for someone who is
writing a reference book to classify it as "uncertain
mint" than to provide the wrong
mint. That error is especially bothersome for me because I must edit my tags or write up new tags when I discover the correct
mint.
Sometimes, for me, the only problem with an "uncertain
mint" designation is where to place the coin in my website.
