Correct guys! [ATTACH] This is an unusual example of the standard Minerva on capital of rostral column lacking the owl, which should be at her...
Maybe some of you eagle-eyed CTers can see what is so special about this denarius struck for Domitian in 95-96 AD? [ATTACH]
A beautiful coin indeed! Domitian inherited the same mint crew that operated under Vespasian and Titus. The engravers were skilled, competent, and...
If it were my coin I would keep it and treat the BD. A little patience and following @TIF's advice I think will far outweigh the short term...
It's nice to see an envelope staying with a coin and providing other avenues of history to explore. I'm glad to hear this! Your envelopes will...
Outstanding! And what a provenance!
A few years ago I compiled a want list of Flavian denarii I needed for my collection, most of which are super rare and hard to come by in trade....
Congrats on acquiring a very elusive coin! Hmmm, I have 8 PONT denarii? Looks like you're catching up!

I couldn't resist picking up this rather handsome coin. Nice honest wear, good eye appeal, and best of all it was cheap! Now, who could argue with...
LOL! Well, it did provide a moment of reflection. Last year I started collecting Flavian bronze, and that is where my priorities lie at the...
This is one of those rare cases where I let coins go that I do not have duplicates of. Maybe in a couple of years I will realise my foolishness?
A little postscript regarding the palm tree depicted on most 'Judaea Capta' coins. [ATTACH] Roman mint masters often chose the most recognisable...
I think in this case 'F' means Fine, which correlates fairly well with the 'good Fine' assigned to the piece in Triton V. 'Good Fine' seems about...
And just to add some statistical facts, I went through all the RIC 159 'Judaea Capta' types listed on asearch.info and found 41 that are not...
Thanks everyone who took the time to vote again. Interesting to see a virtual tie between the 'Judaea Capta' and 'Germania Capta'.
Over a week ago I posted my Top Ten Favourites Poll. The 'Germania Capta' denarius handily got the most votes. However, since that poll was...
