Here's an interesting gesture from Nero, our favorite bad boy [IMG]
Quite a score @AnYangMan ! I have yet to pick up any mixed lots of coins of Roman Egypt but I am sure it was quite fun attributing them.
Very nice example of a Lucilla sestertius - thanks for sharing it.
All I can is geez, shame on the seller who may dupe someone into making this "investment".
Thanks for the write-up - excellent as usual @Jochen ! Nice coin as well.

Great article @Jochen and I must say that's a very cool coin.
Nice start. When I got back into active collecting a few years ago I started with uncleans. And like you said, there are some teasers thrown in...
I'm glad I got one as it is a really interesting type and one I was unfamiliar with before. Gotta keep looking for those cool provincials.
