    You're a teacher-romance languages have common roots-many words are very similar in French and English.

    Take AJAAN for instance; in French it's spelled AJAAN. See how simple?image

    As a rule of thumb, any word that ends in "tion" in English is the same word in French, and in Spanish is the same word ending in "cion", and in Italian ends in "zione". There are a few exceptions to the rule, but it's a good thing to know. Now the whole darkside forum will be full of polyglots image

    Je ne sais pas ce mot, "polyglot." Qu'est-ce que c'est? C'est un homme qui a plus qu'une epouse? Pourquoi c'est un crime? D'avoir plus qu'une femme suffit de punition, n'est pas? image

    << <i>Wow nice coin, is that a minting error at the "8?" >>




    I believe it is a privy mark. But the quality of the pic is not such that I cannot identify exactly which one. And it is also possible of course that it is a bit of error if the die chipped at that location. Once I have the coin in hand I believe I will be able to determine the answer.


    You're right Josh - they're not easy to find. That's why I couldn't pass this one up when I found it.
