[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 4527800, member: 74968"]Hi all, I have been buying up many rare Domitian denarii for the past few years and have really enjoyed the hunt for them. However, there was a glaring omission in my collection...I had no Domitian quinarii. Last night I was searching the unsold lots from different auction houses in the last few months. I stumbled across this one. It was in an INumis sale on March 3. Though on the website it was not available for purchase, I decided to ask anyway. I did and now the coin is mine. It is quite a rare coin. There are 2 on Acsearch (one could be RIC 560 [VESP] or my type RIC 790 [VESP]), 1 mentioned in RIC, and 0 in the Forum Ancient Coins gallery. There is 1 on OCRE but it is the RIC plate coin mentioned above. Needless to say I am very pleased to grab this one for my collection. I love the colouring on it and it will be kept the way it is. Please post your imperial or republican quinarii. Domitian AR Quinarius 75 CE (14mm 1.48g) Obv: Laureate head right; CAES AVG F DOMIT COS III Rev: Victory advancing right with wreath and palm; VICTORIA AVGVSTI RIC 790 [VESP] Purchased from INumis May 25, 2020 [ATTACH=full]1121467[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
