3d Hagiolaters adore these pieces I set on top I?O?S must be IDOLS , but why please?

HAGIOLATERS adore saints/idols

Anyone understand the cryptic bit?

Glad you're stuck on this last one,too! Couldn't it just as easily be "icons"? Can't see the cryptic bit either way, though, I'm afraid!

I was going with idols and taking dols as short for dollar pieces. I may be clutching at straws though.

I think I've got it at last: how about "coins" (= pieces) with the "i" displaced?

Agree that works better.

Googling, I find that there is a particular dollar coin called a saint

Maybe, AJT1, but it doesn't fit --- or do I misunderstand you? Anyway I've mailed the editor as I find both equally justifiable & am annoyed about such an ambiguity at the end of a really exhausting 4 hours or so!

You do misunderstand me - I'm afraid I wasn't explicate enough. The answer is surely icons. I meant to explain why a saint could be a coin.
