My old man just bought me this tonight. Thanks Dad! At least someone I know takes an interest in my hobby. It's my first Nerva coin and I don't see a lot of them around here. Post any Nerva coins you've got. -IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M T P COS II PP, laureate head right -SALVS PVBLICA, Salus seatedd left holding corn ears. RIC 9, RSC 132, BMC 19

Do you like provincial Nerva? This coin took me years to attribute because the seller attributed it to Elaea in Aeolis due to the poppy heads on the reverse. But it's not from there! Moesia Inferior, Tomi. Nerva (96-98 AD), AE16 (2.91g). Obv: ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤωΡ ΝΕΡΟΥΑ; laureate head of Nerva, r. Rev: ΤΟ/Μ//ƐΙΤ/ωΝ; bunch of 3 ears of corn and 2 poppy heads RPC vol. 3 #778
Great coins @Alegandron the A Licinius Nerva is now on my want list! @Ed Snible Fantastic coin man that's one prominent nose
What a Dad, I wish family and friends bought me coins, although sometimes they give me money as a present to buy a coin but to have someone just give you a coin that's the best. I only have two Nerva bought in the early days of collecting, when I was trying for emperor portraits and unfortunately they are both the handshake type although the Dupondius is 96 AD is a fair bit scarcer than the 97 AD As.
Great coins everyone. It is nice to have someone take an interest in your hobby. So far only my aunty and dad have shown any interest whatsoever. The old man still think it's ridiculous what I spend but he appreciates the history and likes talking about the coins. Most my friends just want to know the worth and don't give a damn about history. One friend pays 400 for a 30 year old comic and calls me an idiot for spending 100 on a 2000 year old coin.. I don't get people. It's why I like this place at least everyone here can appreciate the coins and history.
Great present, Ajax! I wish my family knew enough about coins to buy me some. A decent Nerva is on my wish list. Some of the coins posted here show very enviable examples of Nerva's prodigious honker.
that's a nice gift , nerva the 12th augustus. i have this libertas reverse, well worn, but no doubt of who it is.
lol, i seen a shirt that said " coin collecting, the only hobby you can go bankrupt doing and still have money"><
