Another Nero for my 12 Caesars

I just received this today from JA's auction last week. Thanks to JA for a great coin, and thanks to the previous owner @Mat .

All of a sudden I seem to have a group of Nero's silver coins. Here is the newest addition. I really like the portraits on this coin.

Glad to see it went to a good home!

 

Excellent addition!

 

Andrew... too many Neros... you are going to cause a Fire. Keep them far apart from each other, and keep a couple buckets of water and sand nearby. And, well, just stop it.



How about a Nero Tet?


RI Nero AR Tetradrachm 54-68 CE Eagle

 

I was very tempted on that one @Orfew. Nice acquisition.

 

Thanks @Bing

 

Nice, I just picked one of those up a few weeks ago too.

 

Please post it Jay. I would love to see it.

 

It's a sweet coin.

 

This thread is burning down the house. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
