Author	Topic: Coin Silver Spoon Marks - ID?
nihontochicken Posts: 289 Registered: May 2003	posted 05-28-2003 06:52 PM Any opinions on the ID of these HMs? GE or GF plus Griffon? Looks American, but I don't find anything in Ensko or Wyler. BTW, is Kovel's American marks book a worthwhile addition beyond the mentioned two texts? Thanks! Rick IP: Logged

nihontochicken Posts: 289 Registered: May 2003	posted 05-29-2003 10:50 AM Thanks, William. That's twice now that the mystery spoon has turned out to be Northern European. I'm not interested in that origin silver as such, but maybe I'll have to get a book just to distinguish it from the American stuff in which I am interested. Oh, well, it's said that in any field of collecting, your first $500 investment should be in books. I'm getting there! Rick IP: Logged
