An Uncommon Coin From A Common Issue
« on: January 16, 2017, 11:30:44 pm »
I was really thrilled to receive this very rare Domitian denarius from 88. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-134121

Many of these rare variants from Domitian's Minerva series are overlooked by both collectors and dealers. Hidden gems can be mined from the series if one looks hard enough.

From the same issue of 88 as the OP coin. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-103678

There is indeed something special about the issue.

Thanks quadrans! It's really satisfying to finally add a 'GERMAN' denarius from this issue to the collection.
