I guess the list is not 100% accurate.
First of all, if you mention paris and Brussels, you'll have to list Osaka and London...at least.
Second, the years for , for example, Brussels mint are not... precise. Missing patterns 1871..

But it is a good start !

Actually, the list is not bad. It lists identifiable mint marks on so called "business strike" coins.

Agreed. The only correction I notice at first hand is that the Warsaw mintmark (MW) has by accident been put into Cyrillic and then translated back into Latin characters.

Harsh ? Not at all.
I've not realized that the list was supposed to list only Mintmarks and not the mints themselves as the title suggests - just read it carefully

See it ?? Everyone has a room for improvement !

RJW: In this context, I guess BM and MW were both used (again, I have not checked those "bibles"). The first one - on some copper coins if my memory is correct.

The mistake Bob Julian is referring to, I believe, is that "MW" was interpreted as "МШ", then transliterated as "MSH" in the above list. The Warsaw-minted roubles, for example, were struck with the Latin letters "MW" as mintmark.

Most likely !

However, the topic of this branch is not accurate. It should probably say something like "Mint marks on Russian coins ...." ?
