    Very cool coin, ro1974 => that's 3-winners-in-a-row!! (a hat-trick!!)

    ... sure, it has a bit of green debris on it, but it still has super pleasing eye-appeal!! (congrats)

    Ummm, I only have one Nero example (but man, it ROCKS!!)

    What's not to like? It's a nice coin and the lyre adds interest.

    Yep, three winners in a row---I should be so lucky:) Congrats RO!!!!!

    My only Nero is a TET from Antioch, which I've posted far too many times by now.....and it loses a bit of its glamour when compared to Steve's 'rocking example':(
