<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2926446, member: 75937&quot;]Cool!!! Isn&#039;t it a wonderful feeling to find an uncommon coin unrecognized for what it is in an obscure auction?</p><p><br /></p><p>I had that feeling when I found this denarius of Nerva in an obscure auction a month ago or so. It was minted only during a few months of his reign when his coins carried the obverse inscription IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P II COS III P P. I can&#039;t find a single other example of it online -- not at Wildwinds, acsearchinfo, coinproject.com, coin archives (free version), Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE), or CNG archives. There are none for sale at V-coins. It is not listed in Sear 5th ed. or BMCRE.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]709705[/ATTACH]</p><p>Nerva, AD 96-98</p><p>Roman AR denarius, 16 mm, 3.39 g Rome, Sept-Dec AD 97</p><p>Obv: IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P II COS III P P, laureate head right</p><p>Rev: IVSTITIA AVGVST: Justitia, draped, seated right on low backed chair, feet on stool, holding long straight scepter in right and branch extended in left</p><p>Refs: RIC 30; Cohen 103.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: Not to be confused with RIC 6, with the IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P COS II P P obverse legend or with RIC 18, bearing the IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P COS III P P obverse legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
