Hello! :`

I submitted a request to change all years to ND (1900), with the host coin's date being found in the comments section of each year-line.

I left out any information about mints from the year-line comments, and instead kept all those in the page's overall comments section for one main reason: Krause has a weird format here.

My newest Krause of this era is from 2012, so yours may be more up-to-date, but from what I read, any Chihuahua dates with no marks are actually from Uncertain Mints, yet are still listed within Timor's KM#8.1. These seem to be the only confirmable mint marks:

1886:
1) San Luis Potosi (LC)

1890:
1) Chihuahua (MM)

1894:
1) Guanajuato (RS)
2) Guadalajara (JS)

When it came to countermarking these coins, I do not think the countermarkers paid attention to the mints--any mint mark is, more than likely, plausible. And with there being so many unknown mints, I think keeping that information in the comments section would make the page more... understandable.

I hope everything looks more proper now. :)
