<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2775693, member: 74968&quot;]So a little while ago I posted a rare Domitian in response to a thread. David saw the post and commented that there was another rare Domitian of the same type but with a slight variation. He also suggested that I might find interesting to have both.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well I looked for this coin for the past week and finally stumbled across an example. It is now mine. I feel very lucky to have found this and it will make a great addition to my 12 Caesars set. It will also be nice to have the pair.</p><p><br /></p><p>My sincere thanks to David for pointing out the existence of this variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the coin I already had.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]641090[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian.
