Other then the old corrosion, it's a nice coin with a great reverse and nice portrait.

 

It's very well centered, the legends are legible, and the reverse is charming (you can see the details in the basket of fruit)...I like it!

 

Awesome coin ro!

Domitian's face reminds me of Imhotep in The Mummy before he absorbs the flesh of the people who opened the cursed chest. I like it!

 

Very cool addition, ro ... congrats on adding that rugged coin to your collection!!

 

Thanks all

 

Nice coin even with the prior corrosion. Love the reverse.

 

Wonderful portrait on that one. Congrats!

 

Nice one, Ro. I like the slight zombiefication of the face, too.

 

A killer coin!

That's a very nice coin @ro1974; just too bad something ate away at Trajan's portrait.
