<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3344009, member: 74968&quot;]Here is another rarity. It is the second issue of 92 CE. The coin was minted between January and mid September. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what RIC says about this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The second issue incorporates Domitian&#039;s final imperatorial acclamation (IMP XXII) which, on the basis of the extreme rarity of these coins, probably took place shortly before the change in his tribunician numeration on September 14th.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Acsearch= 1</p><p>OCRE= 1(BMC)</p><p>CNG Archives: 1 (the same coin shown in Acsearch)</p><p><br /></p><p>I am really enjoying the process of researching these coins. It is interesting and rewarding to find a little gem once in a while. I must admit though that I feel lucky to have found several rarities in the past few days. Of course the question is &quot;Who cares?&quot; They are just minor variations of a repetitive reverse. The answer is I do and I am fine with that. The nice thing is that I have made connections with a couple of people who have interesting coins of Domitian. Being able to discuss these coins with fellow enthusiasts makes the acquisition of theses coins more fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>The owner of GIN on vcoins contacted me with shipping options. I chose Fedex so I should have this coin in hand in a few days.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian AR Denarius Rome mint struck 92 CE (second issue)</p><p>18.5 mm 3.25 g </p><p>Obverse: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG-GERM P M TR P XI, laureate head of Domitian right</p><p>Reverse: IMP XXII COS XVI CENS P P P, Minerva standing facing, helmeted head left, vertical spear in right hand</p><p>RIC 738 (R2)</p><p>Purchased from Germania Inferior Numsmatics on Vcoins February 1, 2019</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]885557[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
