[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3878081, member: 74968"]A couple of weeks ago I was browsing the auctions and came across this one. The listing said it was RIC 28. It is rated by RIC as R2. It turns out the auction house got the rarity rating correct but not the obverse legend. There are 8 types with the legend IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMITIAN AVG PM, and this coin is one of them.
