<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numinaut, post: 3105546, member: 91259&quot;]Thanks Ken, I think I will keep it for now. The bite is pretty neat, it shows tool marks on both sides.</p><p>A few other things stand out for me: </p><p>Minerva is standing unusually erect compared to the usual Roman deity pose. </p><p>The obverse should read “VESP PF DOMITIAN” instead of “VESP F DOMITIAN.” Was Domitian not pius? </p><p>And why “DOMITIAN”? Wasn’t the usual form “DOMITIANUS”?</p><p>Also, the references say “DIVI AUG VESP.” AUG is missing from this coin, or would be if not for the bite. The missing part is shown on the die match coin above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
