[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3627674, member: 74968"]This came up for auction last week and I put in a low bid. What I forgot to do was to check my list to see if I had one already. When I saw it I noticed that it was misattributed and that it had "CENS POT" in the reverse legend. I am actively seeking these coins. The problem is that they are quite rare. Anyway, here is the coin I already had. [ATTACH=full]972961[/ATTACH] Domitian. Denarius. Rome 85 CE.

BMC – Jesus Vico Mail bid auction # 153 Lot 3136 March 7, 2019 Coin depicted on the Wildwinds database Here is the one I just bought [ATTACH=full]972962[/ATTACH] Domitian AR Denarius.
