[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 919380, member: 111"]Will be nice to see the mark when cleaned up... AJ - suspect you took the '1886' from Tardy, since it's a misprint there, the start date for those Diana-head marks would be 1866 (actually 1867 as Austro-Hungarian), with use continued in Hungary after 1922 until 1937, and from 1872 on, there should be town letter as well a standard number. I think it's most likely the .800 cinquefoil cartouche too, but to my eye it looks a bit wonky in the pic (maybe just the placement so close to the rim), perhaps a slight possibility it's the .950 sexfoil with the one clipped lobe - a better pic of the cleaned mark should confirm the shape and other details...
