<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2858766, member: 51347&quot;]Although I do not collect Empire coinage as much, and do not collect them in the detail that many folks do, I heartily agree about Ancients collecting vs my experience in Moderns collecting.&nbsp; I enjoy collecting Ancients based on their Historical significance.&nbsp; To me, THAT is fun.&nbsp; Yes, there are MANY critical junctures in Modern History that are recorded on MASS PRODUCED, machine manufactured cool coins.&nbsp; HOWEVER, it seems Modern collecting focuses on minute, INHO insignificant MACHINE errors or varieties.&nbsp; Having been in Manufacturing for 40 years, LOL, I can give you MILLIONS of &quot;rare&quot; varieties of anything we made.&nbsp; Yup, even made a few just to get &quot;collectability&quot; for common items.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I have always wondered how many time Mints around the world have created &quot;errors&quot; to spice up collectability and marketing excitement for the Modern coins market.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] , <b><i>congrats finding that Rare coin!</i></b>&nbsp; It would be cool someday if you would ever associate that Coin&#039;s rare acclamation to that significant historical event!&nbsp; Well done!</p><p><br /></p><p>My boring Domitian Minerva:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]680193[/ATTACH]</p><p>RI Domitian AR Denarius 81-96 CE Minerva spear shield COS XVI CENS PPP 22nd Imperial acclamation minted between 14 September 93 and 13 September 94 RIC 761</p><p><br /></p><p>CURIOUS:&nbsp; would you possibly know if there were any acclamation associated with this issue?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
