[QUOTE="greekandromancoins, post: 2886973, member: 87990"][ATTACH=full]693028[/ATTACH] Here is a photo of the coin in full. I did not include in my original post. It appears to me that the curved bottom part of the letter corresponds closer to an E than to a Gamma, at least judging by the other examples I could see. I had ruled this out initially because I could not see the middle horizontal line of the E. It does looks more like a G, P or Q to me but I am unfamiliar with how these are represented (if at all) on any mint marks. On closer inspection, I think the bottom part of the letter is actually a dot which forms part of the dotted border and therefore Maridnvm's theory of a die-break causing a line joining that dot to the E makes sense. I am pleased that this is not so straightforward. I was starting to lose confidence when I hit a road block in attributing this coin! Peter[/QUOTE]
