[QUOTE="Pishpash, post: 2312166, member: 71514"]I found this coin on ebay, didn't have much time to make a bid, didn't research it properly and was captivated by what seemed to be possible toning in the seller's photos. And who doesn't want a Nerva denarius? Poor photos, it is on the list to make better ones.

COS II Pax standing left with branch and cornucopia Wt./Size: 2.57g / 19mm I should have spotted COS III obverse and COS II reverse. The silver is pretty good quality. I would love to clean it up a bit, the toning is under the crud, but I don't want to risk damaging the rainbow effect, which is stunning. I paid 20GBP for it, and if I had had time to study it before hand, and discovered all that I know now, I would have still paid the same. For a fouree, it has it all, Nerva, mule (Trajan reverse), toning and the stories that it conjures up in my minds eye. Priceless :D[/QUOTE]
