Forvm comes through again (thanks Joe!). https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-123628

This rare Domitian denarius from 86 was struck at a time of heightened military activity. One would assume that coins minted during a time of heavy campaigning with multiple imperial acclamations would be plentiful, but that does not seem to be the case!

I am glad you got that one David. I had my finger on the buy button for that coin several times. Very nice example.

Amazing Denarius !Congratulations David.

This is really nice David.

I've just checked mine and it's from different dies.

Thank you Jay .I feel bad now.
A Tetradrachm with a Dekadrachm flavor will not be an issue between friends ..
If you really want it , we can ask President Joe the favor.

Enjoy it my friend! I'm going to a coin show next week...I'll be fine

Well , if ever I wanted to sell it , it will be at FORVM.
And you will be informed . Not a penny more than I paid , even the old owner sold it with no profit I think.

Stunning coin with supurb detail, i like that the engraver continued horizontally with Zeus´s sceptre through the border of dots and beyond.
