Once again @TIF you have hit the nail on the head. Yes, Minerva denarii for Domitian are often misattributed because of the very small differences...
You are correct of course. I have had this type before. Thanks for the great post.
Thanks @Severus Alexander for starting this thread. I used half my credits. Mostly I found matches to the auctions I bought the coins from....
