Berk always has high quality coins, but I find their website cumbersome to navigate and I rarely go there.

What happened to Eric? He used to participate over at Forum all the time.
I don't focus on just one Emperor but I mostly collect Vespasian, Titus and Mark Antony but also Southern Italic coins.

Perhaps a mule with an obverse of Roma from the previous issue of Sergius Silus or Domitius 116-115 BCE

You're welcome! 😄
I bought this at the same time from the same dealer!

Part of the agrarian series under Vespasian, perhaps promoting a more simpler way of life or the bounty that is provided by the Emperor. This one being minted for Titus. While only listed as Rare in RIC, this type is exceedingly difficult to find in trade, even more so than the one for Vespasian, and is a favorite of collectors. Only 3 others in Forum galleries (orfew, 2 Atherton). Wonderful toning in hand.- 7

Japanese. Size, weight, metal?

Even though rated as common, these Flavian quinarii are difficult to find. Great catch. Here's one of mine

From RIC:
"Assigned to this year because there are no dated quinarii of 75, and the appearance of either AVGVST or AVGVSTI on the reverse suggests transition between the earlier series, up to 74 (with AVGVSTI) and later series, 76 onwards (with AVGVST).- 8

Either one of us should have bought it a few months earlier🤣

Take Dando-Collins with a grain of salt.

Not common to find a hinge in such good condition. Congrats!
-
And also unfortunately...not mine😄
Great pick up David

My 2 oldest provenances come from the Reusing/Schürer collection.
Reusing was a German portrait painter of the early 20th Century whose portraits included Richard Strauss, Igor Strawinsky, Max Planck, and Albert Einstein. After Reusing's death his nephew Paul Schürer inherited and curated the collection.

Comes with old tag probably from Heynen or Schürer. Olding tag incorrectly attributed to RIC 420 (different ending to legend)

I think it's just the lighting and photography. First pic has a much sharper focus.

As previously mentioned, I've purchased quite a few coins from this seller. All my shipments came through Israel Post and arrived rather quickly. I've been very happy. There is a coin I was considering but after following this thread, I sent the seller a message through ebay. I asked where the coins are shipped from, Israel or Europe. He confirmed Europe and that it would "truly take time to deliver." I wonder if this is a way to get around the export permit?
I do see some listings that sold beginning of February have already received items and feedback left. Hopefully this is a temporary glitch and you get your coins soon.

One of my absolute favorites from your collection David. Here's my Domitian from the same dealer and same previous collection!

All my shipments from them have been very quick and I've never had an issue. They've always been shipped from Israel and a take a week, maybe two to reach Canada.

Wow! Metaponton! That's in my neck of the woods. I've never met a non-Italian who's ever been there. Nobody really goes to the south. That part of Italy has some amazing sites that nobody visits. You can have the whole place to yourself. How did you get there?

Great pick up David. Here's one of mine from the Cat Nip Coiner. Common, but it's one of my favorite Domitians.
