<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4985154, member: 19463&quot;]Nice coin and one I do not have!</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/domna-liberal-avg-denarius-emesa-jpg.1197536/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I will show my two most rare coins from this mint.&nbsp; Venus is not rare but these two spell out the reverse legend VICTRICI rather than abbreviating it VICTR.&nbsp; The second one substitutes B for R in both words.&nbsp;&nbsp; Did you notice that my two coins share the same obverse die?&nbsp; Did you notice that yours does, too.&nbsp; Note that little &#039;thing&#039; floating over Julia&#039;s head. I see one thing that differs and would be interested in opinions on what happened here.&nbsp; The lower part of the L in IVLIA on both of my coins almost touches the I but there is more separation on yours.&nbsp; What the die reworked?&nbsp; Which was struck first?&nbsp; Can we find other coins using this die?&nbsp; Such questions define my hobby rather than gathering in mint state coins with no concern about such trivia.&nbsp; I hope you will be happy with that coin in your collection for many decades to come.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1197693[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1197694[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
