...I forgot to mention how my coin looks like its got alot of extra materials almost melted?...
?possible minting error?
...or has it just been through some really really rough times?

Any comments defining this coin as an "mint error" or " PMD" are welcomed :)

Crispus looks a bit younger on the OP coin so I'd put it at the beginning of the campgate series. I'm away from my RIC right now but believe this would be around 320 AD? The coin co;d be washed a bit to remove the sticky goo with hairs making it possible to read the mintmark allowing a closer ID.
