[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2500757, member: 56859"]Considering some of the very minor details which generate separate RIC numbers, your new coin's difference seem major. At first glance I saw the difference in globe placement. It took a moment to realize that your new coin shows full bodies of the capricorns, unlike the standard version which looks like two protomes joined at a globe. Edited to add that of the dozens of Vespasian denarii with capricorns in CNG's archives and AC search, I only see three which show full-body crossed capricorns (as I'm sure you've seen). Why is the second example called RIC 357? I don't have RIC. Is this just a catalog error?
