<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 2211626, member: 44140&quot;]About a week ago I purchased a scratched Domitian Caesar minted while he was serving under Vespasian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Conditionally the coin is halfway decent and scratches really don&#039;t detract much from the coin. It think the specimen is wonderful for having been through the ringer, not once but twice.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Aequitas reverse in this case the personification of &#039;honest measure.&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>Well here it is folks...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I spruced up the seller&#039;s image for your viewing enjoyment. Stay tuned for Ancientnoob images.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Empire</p><p>AE As 28 mm x 12.67 grams</p><p>Obverse: Laureate head of Domitian right, Latin legend CAESAR AVG F DOMITIAN COS II</p><p>Reverse: Aequitas standing left. Holding stuff.</p><p>Ref: Seller&#039;s attribution is RIC II 665.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see Aequitas wearing holding a scepter and maybe a globe, what ever she&#039;s holing its not a Cornucopia.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest I am less concerned about the coin than I am about the scratches. &#039;them some good scratches&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been on the hunt for one for while, but it wasn&#039;t reaaaallly high on my list, then about 8 months ago VK found one cheap. Mine was cheap but not VK cheap.
