The mark for six had a curved over top while the u was a five.&nbsp; According to Sear (#163) the mint did not use the 6 for numbers until 26 on this issue but 19 is shown as X/uI/III in three lines.&nbsp; I do not have one from this issue but the typical 6 mark is shown on the Justin II below from year 8 (6+II) of Cyzicus.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]463611[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
