I hope everyone didn't think I was complaining about the coin. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't like it. I needed a Domitian Dupondius and I love the Mars reverse even with the problems. It's just not the prettiest Dupondius I have nor is it the "purdiest" I've seen (is that even a word?). I really enjoyed the experience buying in a country where I do not speak the language. Rather tantalizing. Thanks for all the comments. Vespasian: Thanks for the history. That always makes the coins come alive for me.
