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!!)
Nicenicenice... This type has been on my want list for some time now... unfortunately, can never seem to find the right one.
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'
