Just added 2 Domitian denarii and 1 Vespasian denarius

This Vespasian is quite worn. However, it has a nice portrait and it is a scarce coin.

I have been assembling a collection of rare Minerva denarii for Domitian. Here is another.

This one was misattribute as RIC 572. It is in fact RIC 573, a very rare coin. What makes it rare is the legend variation on the obverse. It states GERMAN instead of GERM.
