<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7839999, member: 19463"]This coin has bothered me for many years. It is a restoration type as by Nerva who came to power 82 years after Augustus died. Three nail holes make me want to think of a decoration for, perhaps, a casket of a veteran of Augustus' army but a ten year old water boy in Augustus' last year would have been over 90 which is possible but not likely. What other use would require three holes arranged to do as little damage as possible? Obviously I will never know the true and complete story. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1348469[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
