Boy, that Domitian there is a beauty.
Old coins that had the dates hand-punched into the dies can be quirky. This is not a bad thing at all. That is a lovely piece; not only a cool...
I too have had this happen. And been on the other side of the equation, too, as a seller. Not so much in a storefront situation where a coin...

Hm. I forgot about that. Oh well. Still, finding S-mints in modern pocket change is interesting enough. Low mintages, you say? All the better.
I suppose it would depend on the collector as to whether that would command any premium or not. It's neat-looking, I'll say that much. I expect...
