I can see why a 'biga deal' is made about that coin. It's superb!
They are very professional with good communication and quick despatch. You should have no problems.
Mistakes like that don't happen very often on Domitian's official coins. Needless to say that's a wonderful piece!
Touché!

Doug, your experience with Severan coins at auction pretty much corresponds with Flavian as well. Most folks don't care about a rare date on a...

It's a pulvinar type carried over from Titus' coinage. It's rare having 3 crescents with this legend combination.
The Judaea Capta series is chock a block full of unique reverse designs for Vespasian. However, it's this antiquarian pastoral scene that is one...
