<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1850088, member: 19463&quot;]I agree this is a Judaea type.&nbsp; There is extra demand for anything associated with the Jewish revolt.&nbsp; Obviously the big gun is the Vespasian sestertius with Judaea Capta legends.&nbsp; The plain Judaea denarius is very common but in great demand followed by several victory types including this one.&nbsp; It is a perfectly presentable middle of the road specimen.&nbsp; Flavian and earlier denarii are soft enough that they scratch easily.&nbsp; That makes coins with pristine surfaces sell for more.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My Vespasian has the captive seated under a trophy of arms.&nbsp; I prefer the other variation with the palm tree instead of the trophy.&nbsp; I bought this one in a recent Frank Robinson sale which quoted the same specimen having brought more in one of his sales several years ago.&nbsp; I guess Frank&#039;s clientele are getting pickier as to condition so they don&#039;t bid high on mid-grade coins???</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]308949[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
