[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2945898, member: 39084"]Researching this coin on ACSEARCH finds plenty of examples without the radiate crown. To my eye it appears to be genuine. There are ample features to recommend this coin: - The obverse is well centered - Obverse legends are generally readable so attribution should be straightforward - Nero's portrait is very recognizable with reasonable detail left in the hair - Reverse centering is decent with most of legend readable - Surfaces are reasonably good without excess pitting and corrosion Personally, I think the OP coin is a MUCH better coin than this one from Franz. As for price, doing some research on CNG, VCoins, and ACSEARCH is the best way to find comps, but a cursory review of ACSEARCH's results would indicate that $120 is a fair -- even a good -- price for this coin.[/QUOTE]
