<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 7881662, member: 74968&quot;]In this case, the seller got the attribution right. However, also in this case, it was important to double-check the reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my first Flavian coin with this Eagle on altar reverse type. A couple of these are very common and show up in many auctions from week to week. However, there are some rarities sprinkled in amongst the more common types, and my coin is one of the rarest types with this reverse. In fact, RIC calls this coin R3 (only one example known at the time of publication). I know of 3 others. There are 2 on acsearch and the RIC reference coin (there is no plate for this coin). If you know of others please post them to this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although the coin is quite worn, sometimes it is a matter of having a rough example or no example at all. You can see the choice I made below. Having said that, I actually like the portrait of Titus very much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your examples of obscure rarities you were able to add to your collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Titus as Caesar AR Denarius 76 CE</p><p>(18mm 2.8g)</p><p>Obv: Head laureate left; T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS</p><p>Rev: Eagle standing front on garlanded altar, wings open, head right; COS V across field.</p><p>RIC 871 (R2)</p><p>Purchased from Ebay September 9 2021</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1359160[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
