<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2778703, member: 19463&quot;]Another Baltimore coin that I have always wanted is the denarius showing Trajan&#039;s father seated with legend DIVVS PATER TRAJAN.&nbsp; Trajan was adopted by Nerva but issued this coin after assuming the Purple in honor of his late biological father.&nbsp;&nbsp; Honoring the adoptive father is common.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am not aware of another example of this on Roman coins.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]642239[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I started having doubts about this coin fearing the reverse may be tooled.&nbsp; That caused me to look at other examples online an I found several others that seemed similarly shaggy. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=168118" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=168118" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=168118</a></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=169808" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=169808" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=169808</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The seller at Baltimore had three of these in stock and they all struck me as a bit different in style as would fit an issue that continued for several years.&nbsp; Rare is the coin that does not present opportunities for further study.&nbsp; I really would like to find a reverse die match for this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
