<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Erhan, post: 3560920, member: 104070&quot;][USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] I agree. The Nero was an iconic coin. I love the portrait it has so much details and the beard neck is also very nice. It is my favorite between these and once I saw it in CNG I wanted it no matter what so I bid a bit higher but luckily&nbsp; got it with a fair price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the details on Hadrian coin from CNG:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>CILICIA, Tarsus. <i>Hadrian. </i></b>AD 117-138.
