Nice OP. Excellent strike and still in great condition. I, too, have a young looking Nerva, in this case doing his Sam Waterson impression. I'd...
I can't speak to whether or not Graeter's Dutch Milk Chocolate ice cream is the best or not, but I noticed that the patina on the obverse portrait...
You expect some sort a discount when you buy a lot of coins compared to what they would sell for individually. Don't forget, too, the 18% or so...

Is each letter of AEQVITI on a different reverse type?
