    Just won this Interesting coin of Vespasian in the Naville auction. I like that is a plate coin and has an interesting reverse.

    I had others on my list but I missed some of the live bidding because I am at the airport waiting to board.

    Please post your wins from this auction or any coins of Vespasian. Also, please feel free to post your Dattari plate coins.


    Egypt, Alexandria. Dattari. Vespasian, 69-79 Diobol circa 70-71 (year 3), Æ 26.5mm., 9.15g. Laureate head r. Rev. Bust of Isis r.; in front, LΓ. RPC 2430 (this coin cited). Dattari-Savio Pl. 14, 382 (this coin).


    Brown tone. Very Fine.

    From the Dattari collection.
    Naville Numismatics Auction #30, Lot 283, April 02, 2017.

    Fantastic addition! It being a plate coin is of course a super bonus.

    Congrats on the win, Orfew. I managed only to extend my losing streak in Dattari coins... Lol, I'm really never going to get one of them. As far as other Naville wins go, I was very happy to score this Nerva denarius with a really nice portrait and a reverse I've always wanted.
