<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3794372, member: 74968&quot;]I am really excited about this one. A couple of months ago I found a PONT denarius that was misattributed by the seller. I gave them a call a few hours ago and we made a deal over the phone. They will ship by fedex tomorrow so I should have it soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a D73! I know there is one on Lucas&#039; gallery on forum and RIC lists one from the UBS 59 auction in 2004. I have not been able to find any others so I think this one is the 3rd known. There are 0 examples on OCRE.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love that the PONT is so clear on this coin. The portrait also has lots of character. The obverse legend is very nice. I cannot say the same for the reverse legend...but one cannot have everything.The other thing I like is that it has DOMITIAN instead of Domitianus in the obverse legend. The Domitian legend is scarcer than the Domitianus legend on PONT denarii.</p><p><br /></p><p>This makes 6 PONT denarii for me! I do not have the largest collection of these yet. I think David has 8 and Alberto on Forum has 13 of them! Normally this PONT denarius would have made 7 examples. However, for reasons best explained later one of my PONT denarii departed from me a few days ago.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1013795[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
