[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3421636, member: 98035"]Fascinating coin, but IMO even more fascinating that the Imperial mint was able to learn about the acclamation, make dies, and start churning out coins in just four days! I'm lucky if I can get that kind of turnaround time on an email at work. My Domitian I believe is the ordinary type, TRP XV, IMP XXII, COS XVII, boring Minerva type [ATTACH=full]908427[/ATTACH] I do however have a few with narrow date frames: Marcus Aurelius M ANTONINVS AVG GERM SARM, laureate head right TR P XXXI [B]IMP VIIII[/B] COS III P P, Jupiterseated left, holding Victory and sceptre. RIC 381 Minted "Autumn" - December 9, 177[ATTACH=full]908438[/ATTACH] Mentioned only in RIC, no images, no examples in any auction database. They didn't even make dies specifically for the type; this coin uses a worn reverse die of RIC 371, modified by adding an extra stroke over Jupiter's scepter for the new acclamatio. Some first year coins: Trajan, January 27 - December 98 (Quite common, though) [ATTACH=full]908451[/ATTACH] Hadrian, August 10 - December 117 [ATTACH=full]908452[/ATTACH] Last year coins: Maximinus Thrax (sold a few months ago) with TRP IIII, December 237 - not later than March 22 238 [ATTACH=full]908475[/ATTACH] Volusian (amazing how someone can renew their tribunician power 4 times in 2 years!) December 252 - August 253 [ATTACH=full]908466[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
