<Our item number 137963><B>Domitian, A.D. 81-96. AE 28 minted at Caesarea, A.D. 92.</B> Radiate head right of Domitian. <I>Reverse:</I> Palm tree with seven branches, two clusters of dates. AJC plate 36, 9. H-746. <B>Extremely Fine.</B> <BR><BR>The proper way to determine the diameter of a coin is to measure the obverse in millimeters from 9 o&#39;clock to 3 o&#39;clock. An oval flan could produce a larger or smaller number than a median reckoning which, if photographed, would quickly tell the prospective buyer of its irregularity. <BR>While metal micrometers with fancy read-out dials are commonly sold in the numismatic marketplace, don&#39;t use them. The metal of a coin should never touch another metal. A plastic micrometer is excellent and just as accurate &#40;as well as being less expensive&#41;, as are the clear plastic measuring devices made for philatelists. Look for a perforation gauge which includes a millimeter ruler on the side; these are usually manufactured with high precision. <BR>Estimated Va lue &#36;900 - 1,350. <I><BR>Ex Antiqua XIII, January 2006, lot 96.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 137963<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/137963.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/137963N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
