I've not had much luck searching here, google, or in my coin book about this inquiry I have.
Does anyone know the significance of the arrows on either side of the date on seated coins? There's a minuscule weight increase with them added, and I gather that's why they were eventually removed...but...
Have any of you an idea of what the arrows mean? Or were they perhaps just part of the design?
To be honest I think they look rather out of place on the mint, adds a bit of a modern look in my opinion.
What say you?
