[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7925046, member: 115909"]So I think by now [I]everyone [/I]knows that I often participate in Heritage Auction's weekly Ancients auctions. I try to pay 80% of what previous coins of equal condition sold for so that with the buyer’s premium I am still getting a fair deal. I bid on [B]ALOT [/B]of stuff this week but unfortunately I only won one coin because of how I only bid 80%. But I really like it so I'm okay with that ^_^. This is now my oldest Emperor taking the spot from Trajan. [ATTACH=full]1369313[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1369323[/ATTACH] [B]Domitian, as Augustus (AD 81-96). AR denarius (18mm, 3.31 gm, 5h). NGC AU 5/5 - 2/5.[/B] Rome, AD 88. IMP CAES DOMIT AVG-GERM P M TR P VII, laureate head of Domitian right / IMP XIIII COS XIIII CENS P P P, Minerva standing facing, head left, thunderbolt in right hand, spear in left, shield behind her leaning against her legs. RIC II.1 580. I wonder why NGC gave it a 2/5 for surface? I feel like it's a solid 3. Yeah it has some hairline scratches but I don't think it's that bad for such a small coin. What do you guys think? Is it a decent coin? Oh yeah and share your Domitian's here if you want! Not just denarii but any coin of Domitian.[/QUOTE]
