<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 6491496, member: 74968"]So yesterday I posted a very rare denarius that I won at auction. Well I also won another coin in the same auction. While this coin is not as rare as the Domitian, it is not exactly common either. It is the most common coin in group 8 Ephesian denarii. The others are rare to extremely rare. There are 2 groups of Ephesian denarii which feature a star mintmark on its own group 7 and group 8. I do have RIC 1453 a group 7 denarius which features a star so this will be my second one. All group 7 denarii are rare to extremely rare. So if you see one and would like one, do not hesitate because it might be a while before you see another.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rarity aside, there is another reason that Ephesian denarii of Vespasian are collected-they feature incredible portraits of Vespasian.

[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 6491496, member: 74968"]So yesterday I posted a very rare denarius that I won at auction. Well I also won another coin in the same auction. While this coin is not as rare as the Domitian, it is not exactly common either. It is the most common coin in group 8 Ephesian denarii. The others are rare to extremely rare. There are 2 groups of Ephesian denarii which feature a star mintmark on its own group 7 and group 8. I do have RIC 1453 a group 7 denarius which features a star so this will be my second one. All group 7 denarii are rare to extremely rare. So if you see one and would like one, do not hesitate because it might be a while before you see another. Rarity aside, there is another reason that Ephesian denarii of Vespasian are collected-they feature incredible portraits of Vespasian. I also happen to think the denarii for Titus and Domitian are special too, but those for Vespasian can be stunning. Such is the case here. It is no wonder these are highly sought after just look at that incredible portrait. So expressive. I also think the reverse is impressive as well. In particular, the figure of History is well rendered. Please feel feel to post your coins with great portraits or your coins of Vespasian. I know that if my friend [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] was present she would like this one a lot.
