<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3337552, member: 19463&quot;]I missed how the coin was misattributed by the seller.&nbsp; What did they say about it? Like the Probus not flagged to be EQVITI, many coins are not described to a completeness that would satisfy a specialist.&nbsp; The lowest level NGC slab is expected to get the emperor right and this one did.&nbsp; It was not misidentified but some might say it was under-identified. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many sellers identify coins to common books like Sear which have very few coins and will be an exact match of hardly any coin sold.&nbsp; Some sellers see no reason not to sell any coin of Domitian with a Minerva reverse with this wrong number and many buyers feel better having a catalog number even if it is only approximate.&nbsp; The definition of misidentified is not the same for us all.&nbsp; I&#039;m just glad this IMP XVI found a home with someone who cared.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Exactly!&nbsp; This is why I hate to see people become addicted to using catalog numbers from books they do not own.&nbsp; We can describe our coins and point out what the details on the coin mean.&nbsp; When we use a catalog number we need to be careful that our readers define that number as we do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
