<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2782216, member: 82616&quot;]Hmmm, I never thought about which is my &#039;latest&#039; coin. Well, this is as close as I can come to the &#039;Fall&#039; (aside from a Mason jar full of unattributed 3rd century bronze).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]643871[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Domitian</b></p><p>AR Denarius, 2.99g</p><p>Rome mint, 96 AD</p><p>RIC 820 (R2), BMC - , RSC -</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P XVI; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.</p><p>Rev: IMP XXII COS XVII CENS P P P; Minerva stg. l., with spear (M4)</p><p>Acquired from Savoca Numismatik, eBay, 10 April 2015.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not often one can date a coin to within four or five days.
