I just wanted to use "globus cruciger" in a sentence. This is probably the only chance I'll get. :P
That's a nice looking medal, though. :)
If there were truly a clad layer missing, it would be completely reddish-brownish on one side, since it would be showing the copper core on one...
You said "finds". Do I understand it to mean you dug that Nerva? Great conservation job, if so! Great finds, in any event.
I switched the theme to globus cruciger in Post #1807. I know somebody's got some. ;)

PS- just for fun, if you're able to post a pic, let's have a look at this coin.
I too agree with this. I understand the temptation to "flip" something, and often do, but it's all a question of weighing your desire for having...
Yep. That one did its job in circulation, that's all. I'm from the same year as it is, and in about the same condition. ;)
