<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gary R. Wilson, post: 3226294, member: 89935&quot;]Hi everyone. I just got this coin of Nero, a Decvrsio without the SC. I know there are specimens out there but I seem to see many more of the SC specimens than the ones without the SC. I believe RIC has this type rated as &#039;common&#039; but I wonder.&nbsp; Also, CNG has coins like mine dated to 63 AD. What are the opinions of this issue compared to the SC issues? Why weren&#039;t the ones from 63 AD minted with the SC? Was Nero sending a message to the Senate? Please post your Decvrsio coins with any comments you have. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]841121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]841123[/ATTACH] </p><p>Ruler: Nero (Augustus)</p><p>Coin: VF Brass Sestertius </p><p>NERO CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR P IMP P P - Laureate head left</p><p>DECVRSIO - Nero, bare-headed, cuirassed, cloak flying behind, prancing right on horseback carrying spear at rest in right hand; in front of him, advancing right, looking back left, a foot soldier holding vexillum in right hand over left shoulder right; behind him a</p><p>Exergue:</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/spacer.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/spacer.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol4.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol5.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol3.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol21.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol17.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol18.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol9.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol14.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Mint: Rome (63 AD)</p><p>Wt./Size/Axis: 28.50g / 35mm / 6h</p><p>Rarity: Scarce</p><p>References:</p><ul> <li>RIC 108</li> <li>Sear 1956</li> <li>BM 155</li> <li>MacDowall WCN 78</li> </ul><p>Acquisition/Sale: rembrand-2000 Ebay $0.00 11/18</p><p>Notes: <i>Nov 2, 18</i> - The Gary R.
