[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7803145, member: 118780"]FWIW, from searching on Heritage's site, the last boscoreale Nero they sold was in 2014 for $7k. That type was different, but IMHO the coin for sale has a much better tone and details. They currently have five boscoreale coins listed, including a Vitellius. Of the five, only with the Vitellius do they say "[I]almost certainly from the Boscoreale hoard of 1894." [/I]With the others, I think they're being cautious by saying that it has the right toning but there's nothing in the provenance to say with certainty it came from there. CNG has sold five Nero boscoreale coins since 2020. One went low at $4k, while the others went from $7k to $9.5k. I expect this coin to go within that range.[/QUOTE]
