JUDAEA Domitian, Ascalon Augustus 81-96 AD, AE 18. Caesarea Maritima Bronze Coin, RV. Nike. NGC CHOICE FINE. With a 4/5 Strike and 3/5 Surface. These coins are valued between $200 and $250 -- in many cases, upwards of that -- and this coin comes with the added value of being part of THE EYEAPPEALING COLLECTION from Heritage sales. A note on the collection: The Eyeappealing Collection is a specialized, named numismatic property occasionally featured in major rare coin sales, such as those hosted by Heritage sales . . . In coin collecting \"eye appeal\" broadly refers to a coin\'s overall visual attractiveness, driven by factors like vibrant rainbow toning, original mint luster, smooth surfaces and clean focal areas. As you\'ll see in the box included with photos of this coin this type is considered \"scarce to rare\" -- rather than common -- with Choice VF examples going for well north of $1,000. This is an NGC Graded CHOICE FINE -- with a 4/5 Strike and 3/5 Surface -- and that alone carries the value, as does the fact few higher-grade examples [certified, verified, documented] exist. Here\'s the explanation of this coin, direct from Heritage sales and THE EYEAPPEALING COLLECTION: \"Domitian, often remembered as a controversial figure in Roman history, lived a complex life marked by both admirable achievements and a dark reputation. Born in AD 51 into the esteemed Flavian family, his father Vespasian\'s rise to power marked the conclusion of the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors in AD 69. Despite his auspicious lineage, Domitian spent much of his early life in the shadow of his elder brother Titus. This overshadowing may have contributed to the development of his reserved and resentful personality. However, when Titus passed away in AD 81 after a brief two-year rule, Domitian swiftly stepped into the role of emperor, marking the beginning of his own rule within the Flavian dynasty.\"
