<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3823688, member: 74968&quot;]Very nice catch David. I love finding these misattributed gems. It is so much fun!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one I was able to grab when I noticed it was misattributed. The auction house attributed this coin as RIC 572 a common coin. It most certainly is not common. In fact it is the much rarer RIC 573. The difference is in the obverse legend. RIC 572 uses the common GERM in the legend while RIC 573 has the much rarer GERMAN. There are 4 types of denarii and one Aureus with this legend variation. The denarii are all R2 and the Aureus is R3.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1017572[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian AR Denarius. Rome, AD 88.
