[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7809377, member: 80952"]Haha, thanks. And I hope you will find a nicer example at a good price (you should). Coming from a Flavian specialist, your words are flattering, but I can't say this coin will win any beauty contests. None of my 6 Vespasian coins would. But, again, this is not a turn off for me, as long as the coin can be attributed without doubt. Seeing (and holding) an 1943 years old coin is still something I wouldn't have dreamed 1 year ago. To be somehow on topic - another coin that will not win any beauty contest, not a rarity especially in this grade but not extremely common: [ATTACH=full]1341364[/ATTACH] Domitian (Caesar, 69-81) AR Denarius, Rome, 77-78 CAESAR AVG F DOMITIANVS - laureate head right Rev: [COS V] - Soldier on horseback rearing right, raising right hand. RIC 957 (Vespasian); C 49a Too bad the portrait is the way it is and the COS V on the reverse is gone, but I did not refuse a Domitian as Caesar denarius at a low price.[/QUOTE]
