    I like it just fine. A little gentle smoothing doesn't bother me too much. It's a great coin.

    No, I don't think that coin is good for you. Too many defects. Why don't you mail it to me free of charge and I'll suffer ownership of it so you don't have to.

    See what I did there?:D:p

    It was a joke, @ro1974 . I must be bad at jokes, because I never expected you to PM me asking me why I want you to mail me your coin. LOL.

    Did anyone else get it, or did everyone else miss the joke too?

    Your English, while not perfect, is understandable and enjoyable...kind of like some of these coins. Where are you?

    I'm pretty sure this is physically impossible... unless you want just photos of coins sent to you :D
    For every bad joke you make you have to send a coin from your collection to the person its directed to... deal? :D

    I think both are nice coins, and don't see any evidence of tooling. The reverse on the Nerva makes me wonder if it's had bronze disease before, but it still looks good.

    An ancient coin does not have to be perfect to be appreciated.

    Collecting ancients to me is about history, beauty and events in the long past.
    Ro, Your beautiful sestertius of Titus has all of those things.

    Collecting ancients (to me) is not about perfection and grades.
    Many collectors unfortunately do that.

    But to each his own.

    And that is one of the reasons I collect Ancients and not moderns.
