My first Nero portrait

It's a nice coin. The background looks nice but I think it distracts from the coin, like the coin is only a small part of a larger whole.

 

Thank you, Jwt708. I think you're right. The wax seal was distracting.

 

Another fine coin, sir!

Q

 

I love that coin. It is just dripping with fascinating history.

Here is my first and only Nero portrait. Still happy with my $19 buy.

 

My first Nero was a "Nero fiddles" as for $4 in a junk box, mid '80s. It was decent, but I traded up a long time ago.

Great coin, DR!

 

@Deacon Ray Great coin, I really like it.

My first Nero was a Tetradrachm from Alexandria that (like too many coins I've sold) I wish I still owned.
