100% agree!
Frequency rating is indeed 'common', but just so, IMHO. Love it! Although, I'm unfamiliar with the reference 'CRE'.
To be honest, I've never added them all up for a final count. I just work off of 'want lists' for each ruler. Systematically I collect both...
I am a specialist in Flavian coins generally, but systematically collect the silver issues - especially those of Titus. I've almost completed that...
Superb portrait on that one Ray!
I forgot to mention this is RPC 345 (4 spec.). Ex Musa, October 2021.

I didn't pay too terribly much for this latest one, about the price of a decent meal out on the town. [ATTACH] Vespasian Æ Diobol, 7.57g...

It would be prudent to consult the catalogue yourself instead of trusting second hand information. NB: 'At hand' doesn't necessarily equate to...
Amen! I was going to type something very similar! Every reference number I cite is from a catalogue at hand.
Semisses are probably the rarest imperial denomination struck for Domitian. They do not show up in trade often and when they do are commonly seen...
And to find them in good condition!
I love quinarii, especially ones that are stylistically pleasing and rare. My latest acquisition I believe fits that criteria. [ATTACH]Vespasian...
My latest coin is a neat inexpensive bronze from Cappadocia. Proof that you don't need to spend 'flipping great wadges of cash'* to have...
