I agree -- despite the condition of the coin's surface, Nero's portrait is well delineated and fairly artistic.
Wonder if any other Roman emperors were so embarrassed by their baldness that they wore a toupee? Not that this is "cool"...
I think you made a wise choice not to pursue this coin. Part II of NAC's auctions are reserved for coins whose quality wasn't sufficient to put...
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's "wins" from this auction and hearing more about the ones that got away!
Yes, it's been confirmed that I won the coin in which I was most interested. The second coin was somewhat below my desired grade so I made a...
Hmmm... are you representing the "arithmetically challenged" group of collectors? ;-)
This is my understanding as well. I would be shocked if Russo ever bid against any of his clients. While I don't know this for a fact, this...

Sugarbritches???
Very similar to, and reminds me, that many years ago I made the observation (pardon me for paraphrasing Ben Franklin) that laziness is the mother...
While I understand that an occasional typo will slip into even the most diligent efforts, it's inexcusable to cite the wrong emperor in a...
As a 12 Caesars collector, it's nice to have a bridge from the "first" Caesar (Julius Caesar) through the Imperatorial period leading to Augustus....
Oh boy -- wait 'til TIF sees this!
A suggestion about formatting the poster: I think it would read more naturally if each coin itself and the accompanying coin's description were...
I agree too, and think it's a glaring omission that this coin (AV or AR) isn't included in Harlan Berk's 100 Greatest Ancient Coins.
A few thoughts and suggestions in addition to the useful ones already posted. 1. If you're worried about theft, include a large, prominent...
