<p>[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3617589, member: 83845"]Thanks [USER=88829]@lrbguy[/USER] . This is why CoinTalk is such a great resource. You are certainly correct about the leading dot and, I agree, it appears that there is a leading dot only. You may also be correct about the K vs H in the mintmark. When I first looked at it in hand I believed it to be a H but now that I examine the photos I’m not so sure. I will need to go back and compare to other examples and amend the OP accordingly. In the meantime opinions welcome.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]969258[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: On further inspection of other examples I’m going to stick with my attribution to Heraclea.
