Great catch! I was going to bid on this one too but decided to let you have it :)
I've never noticed that before David. My Titus has the same backing but different die, I'm on my phone so I can only provide a link:...

Arrrrrrgoooooos :)
Sweet coin Andrew! After neglecting Domitian for years last year I added quite a few of his. I have rarer types but I just love this portrait...
