<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 4169079, member: 42773"]It's a good guess. The mark is garbled either because of faulty engraving or die chips, or a weak strike. SMNE is also a possibility, as well as SMHS or SMHE. One of the maddening things about discerning certain Nicomedia from Heraclea mint marks is that the H in Heraclea mint marks often has a slanted cross bar, making the letter look like N, and the two mints used same format: Sacra Moneta, N or H, officina.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
