<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3317130, member: 19463&quot;]My use of &#039;flyspecking&#039; does not include legend differences that change the RIC number but little things like the lituus on coin #3 does qualify.&nbsp; Flavian collectors have to be on top of a changing series of titles and legends to a greater degree than some of our specialties.&nbsp; On the Pegasus type, the &#039;flyspecker&#039; tendencies in me notices the differences in noses on Domitian and the numeral bar over the IIII before it takes note of the CAES abbreviation that changes the RIC number.&nbsp;&nbsp; It strikes me that Marsman&#039;s coin and mine share noses and spelled out CAESAR while your CAES has a less prominent nose.&nbsp; I wonder which was first and if the mint was ordered to make the change or if it is just a matter of two workers with different styles.&nbsp; Does your use of &#039;Group&#039; numbers imply an order of mintage or some other meaning or does it just note that there are differences?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]879405[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
