<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aleph, post: 3340769, member: 89969&quot;]I recently purchased a large lot that was poorly described because it was described as having mostly my denomination of interest.&nbsp; Well, beware buying lots that have minimal documentation!&nbsp; I took a majorish risk and got, hmm, a box full of surprises.&nbsp; After seeing the first half was predominantly Constantine era bronzes- not what I was going for- the second half yielded enough interesting stuff that I wasn’t too disappointed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Among a lot of unexpected things, there was a Titus denarius described as unlisted (in the old edition).&nbsp; So I busted out my new Flavian edition thinking ‘this will be a snap’.&nbsp; Finally found it and it was RIC 695 (V) R3 (known only from the British museum photo file)!&nbsp; So supposing that this couldn’t be right, I went to the plates to double check and guess what, not only is it correct- it was THIS coin.&nbsp; How does a coin like this drop out of sight for generation and then randomly surface among a bunch of miscellaneous constantinian bronzes and some other random stuff??&nbsp; Not a Flavian collection, not a Roman silver collection.&nbsp; I don’t get it but am tickled none the less.[ATTACH=full]884696[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
