<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3431390, member: 75937&quot;]Specialists know that when it comes to very scarce or rare coins, they can&#039;t be too picky about state of preservation. If you hadn&#039;t have snatched this one up, you might have had to wait many years for another one to become available and it&#039;s possible you&#039;d never have another opportunity in your lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like finding rare types that go unappreciated by others at auction or at a show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Neat addition to your collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>And here&#039;s a Domitian provincial for good measure. I haven&#039;t posted this one in a while, either. It features Domitia, not Minerva (not that there&#039;s anything wrong with Minerva).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]911042[/ATTACH]</p><p>Domitian and Domitia, AD 81-96</p><p>Roman provincial AE Assarion; 5.12 gm. 20 mm</p><p>Thessaly, Larissa, AD 82-96</p><p>Obv: ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟΝ ΚΑΙΣ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΛΟΙ, laureate head of Domitian, right</p><p>Rev: ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑ ΣΕΒΑΣΣΤΗ, draped bust of Domitia, right</p><p>Refs: SGI 891; BMC 7.7,76; RPC II 278; Rogers 88.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
