And ..... He has that smile. Usually (not always) Nero has a rather fearsome look about him. That and the exaggerated 'fatso' appearance. On some of his coins one wonders why the die engravers didn't trim off a few pounds on his neck area.
I am skeptical of all gold coinage as I have seen too many 'dynamite' fakes. You probably found this one yourself which would make it real enough to you. Unfortunately (really really) I wasn't there to witness the thrill of it.

I am curious, why post your coin you are super happy about then say you sold it the next day? Are you a dealer? What's the point? If you want to advertise sales there is a spot for that on the forum.

This one is the most common of the Nero gold types. I have seen a few of these over three decades.
As far as 'off centre strike' is concerned, I have no problems.
Nevertheless, very high quality fakes of these exist. Artificial wear helps to hide suspicious features.
The Romans certainly did put more effort into ensuring that aureii met current weight and purity standards. More attention was also paid to die cutting.
Here, the design barely fits on the flan, and it is perhaps not surprising that the hammer man got this one slightly wrong.
$5,000 seems to be a high price to pay for this coin in this condition. I would think more like $1,500.

Cant believe somebody is paying 5000 dollar for this coin, I have seen simular gold coins of Nero for less money in a better condition

Oh I don't believe anyone is bothered by the sale at all, just surprised at the amount the coin yielded. Good for you my friend. Finding a gold coin is a once in a lifetime accomplishment. I don't believe there would be any price someone could give me to make it worth selling....although $5000 would do it...even I have my price...  |
