<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4903408, member: 19463"]What we think is irrelevant. I suspect you would still like a 'real' Titus and suggest you get one that has clear legend on the edge that has the T or the whole name spelled out. Sure, your Vespasian is a Vespasian but you probably would like one of his that has the clear legend that shows the coin is NOT a Titus. Imperfect, part legend Flavian denarii are common and inexpensive BUT I prefer coins that have only half of the legend but the correct half to ID the coin compared to a coin that has 90% of the legend but the missing part makes proper ID hard. The Domitian as Caesar under Titus is by far the best of the three coins. The Titus below has some weak letters but the letter that made me want the coin was the T. Obviously the pigs played a role. When I bought it, I thought I was settling for a defective coin but it turns out that these come in three piglet and two piglet variations. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1182970[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
