I Took A Chance on This

Excellent find, David. It's always nice when you can find those hidden gems that seem to have been overlooked.

I like it. Cool coin.

I actually can post something to this thread. Domitian was my first ancient silver coin.

 

letters are so weak i canot see cos X III of II

 

i am the only one who dont like it
letters are not blured to see, what it is

 

For an experienced collector who understands very well the coins he collects, eBay is fine as a source. It is not great for inexperienced collectors or those unfamiliar with the type of coins they're shopping for.

 

where do you based it is so R3 coin on those weak letters

 

weak letters

 

. In fact, the final 'I' in the obverse legend appears to have been engraved over the tip of the bust, indicating it is a reworked TR P V die. Not long after this coin was struck (perhaps just a few days) word reached the mint of Domitian's thirteenth imperial acclamation, ending this issue's brief run.

evey coin has some special isue in letter form

S brokes the neck in the emperor wow i am R3 now

 

Interesting that you bring up die matching in such cases. The unique coin cited by RIC is not illustrated, so I'm unable to do so. I would not be surprised if the two were die matches.

 

based on almost destroyed letters is a coin special

 

i dont see the special letters are hard to see

 

Better step your game up ro.

 

i am special lol

o yes i am a elephant

all coins have some specials

 

I dont want to put words into anyones mouth, but I think perhaps when ro says he sees III instead of II he is adding in the end of the spear, which at that exact point might just look like a letter to some.

 

i see nothing special on it
sory, what i see
TRP v see i on more coins

Reverse is so weak/ letters

a normal minerva Domitian do i see

my findings is it a R1 coin

 

total not a R3 coin
