Oh boy.

 

What do you think?

 

That's a fantastic first Nero!

 

Thank you David

 

My first impression was not positive, but I am not familiar enough with this series (Cappadocia) so the problem is likely my lack of knowledge rather than your coin!

 

Why it was not positive?

 

Because of the style of the portrait.

 

It's perfectly fine.

 

ohh, I see, this is a sharpest one i could get, fine details, perfect strike.. I am less concerned about the style and more about the sharpness and quality of the coin. So, I guess, quality against quantity. Based on my research, similar quality coins were selling twice the amount I paid.

 

Thanks David, roman Denari, ones i wanted sell for $1,200 so couldn't get those

 

Provincials are the way to go for many 'expensive' emperors!

 

Not only are Greek Imperial coins often much cheaper than proper Romans, they are also often much more interesting!

 

Now that is a fine example @Svarog

 

Thank you Bing, my motto: "Always strive for the best!"

 

That's a great coin, congrats.

 

Thanks Mat

 

A sweet coin!

 

It is good to see Nero so fit and in such a good shape. Nice coin!

 

That is an awesome piece! After viewing a post on here showing an in depth Chinese counterfeiting factory, I am very hesitant to purchase any coins for more than $30.
