Default Coil identification

Does Skip Haney put any marks or numbers on the dome top coils he rebuilds?

Skip uses a letter code on the bottom as described above. There were
several guys that took coils apart and claim they remove moister but
it didn't improve them much. Problem is one guy from Michigan refilled
them with epoxy and they can not be taken apart to be rebuilt. If I
recall he put a date code on the bottom. G.M.
