[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 279011, member: 59"]So we have 2 showing up in the UK and 1 in the US, right? I'm sure you know that UK marks would be much more complex than this simple T - not to mention more stringently required. Appears to be no evidence of marks being rubbed off in cleaning either. So that goes out the window. The only US possibility, IMHO, would be co-called "coin silver" made before the sterling standard became widespread. There are a few makers of that period with a capital T (with serifs) included in their marks, but none with a T alone. So that also becomes unlikely, given that complete lack of ghost impression evidence. I just don't know what to make of this.[/QUOTE]
