MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 04/24/2013 3:11 pm Hi Guys, Got this Crispus Coin, reverse with camp gates, PROVIDENTIAE CAESS and mint mark for Italy (SMR) - I think... If it is, what is the other mark next to it for? You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/24/2013 3:34 pm Looks like the Greek letter gamma to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/24/2013 3:55 pm SMK gamma. From the Cyzicus mint. The gamma is a officina or workshop number of the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 04/24/2013 3:58 pm Yes gamma mark, but I believe it's from the Cyzicus mint SMKgamma It stands for the 3rd officinae of the Cyzicus mint. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/24/2013 4:11 pm Yeup - its the greek letter gamma! Thats a nice coin by the way. I'm trying to collect eastern mint camp gates (well, I have 2) and this one is in the right time frame for me! The tip is the thin doorways. These fade in and fade out. By the way, I believe you have a Cyzicus coin (SMKG) - Firstly, it looks like a K (the eastern mints had a nack of making ambiguous letter punches) and secondly, crispus didnt mint any coins with the SMR mint mark! Another nail in the coffin is that this coin features details I associate with easterly camp gates. Report this Post to the Staff
