dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 7:24 pm I don't think it is a sestertius but a worn dupondius having only a trace of the radiate crown rays. I don't see anything that shouts fake but the photo is not good enough to make me want to say anything positive either. Report this Post to the Staff
Caesar381 Valued Member Serbia (Srbija) 146 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 7:40 pm It looks like there are dirt on coin and so can be cleaned more... And patina is nice. Guy want 90euro for coin. Dont know is that price too high. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 7:49 pm The coin looks genuine with a nice patina. The coin is as clean as you are going to get it without removing the patina. At about $125.00 US the price isn't too bad. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 8:05 pm Well, I've become known as the "frugal" (cheap) guy on this forum, so I would tell you the price is too high. I plan to look around for a Nero base metal coin and report back Regards Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 8:17 pm I wouldn't pay more than $80-$85 for it, but I don't know how much these are going for though. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 8:34 pm Looking on ebay alone I may be wrong on the value of your coin. It would seem Nero coins are at a premium. I did find a couple under the price you have quoted: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROMAN-NERO-...t_500wt_1413 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Best-price-..._2300wt_1396 Also, take a look on vcoins at the Nero coins. I saw some very nice coins under $100. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 8:53 pm I am going to have to eat crow. In looking for a like coin, I found several ranging from $216 to $2200 plus. So perhaps yours is a good buy after all. Take a look at this link: http://search2.vcoins.com/results.a...75a072c57694 Report this Post to the Staff
giano Valued Member 279 Posts	Posted 11/09/2011 03:36 am the coin looks to me ok,but I prefere obverse...there's something not very good in the reverse's die. However I've seen some nero coins in better condition for less $. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 11/09/2011 07:00 am - the reverse is not very attractive, the patina also looks very thick, is it original? Without the coin in hand it would be very difficult to tell. Price-wise I cant help, dont know enough about these coins, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
Caesar381 Valued Member Serbia (Srbija) 146 Posts	Posted 11/09/2011 07:49 am Thanks... I will see this coin personally in few days. Maybe seller will lower his price a bit :) Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/09/2011 09:47 am While looking through ebay last night, I came across this listing for a fair Nero with a low starting price. I do not know the seller so I can't give you any assurances about them. But, hey, if the coin looks good and the price is right, and you are in the market for a Nero, you might want to take a look. Good luck. http://www.ebay.com/itm/15068953923...t_923wt_1396 Edited by Bing 11/09/2011 09:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
