<p>[QUOTE="Ajax, post: 2642447, member: 78656"]A couple weeks ago I came across a Crispus coin at auction. I really didn't have any clue about the history of Crispus, I just really liked the coin and it was cheap! So now after reading about Crispus in the thread that was posted a bit ago (<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/crispus.289869/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/crispus.289869/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/crispus.289869/</a>) I'm hooked! I've decided to put together a little Crispus camp gate collection. So for I've got Cyzicus, Heraclea and Rome. Once I get all the mints I'm going to go after the variations. It seems Alexandria is going to be the toughest one to get. Does anyone here have any Crispus Alexandria camp gates?? </p><p>Please share any Crispus or any coin you like!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]583196[/ATTACH]</p><p>Crispus.
