An interesting coin from the first issue Indeed - is it just the style or is there more to it? |

The style is more crude and much less refined than those of the later issues. They are relatively scarce. The portrait hails somewhat back to Nerva.

Its interesting to compare it to MartiVltori's Nerva directly above yours, I see exactly what you mean. EDIT: Its no longer directly above but on the previous page, some earlier posts must have been removed  Edited by bobbyhelmet

OK, this coin is a pretty dirty fella, not as nice as echizento's. Hardly worth presenting. It's my only Trajan at this point so I'll show it anyway. It's been soaking in DW for about 2 mo. with an occasional brushing and shows minor progress. It's only value here may be to show the range of conditions ancient coins can be in.  Trajan AE Quadrans 15mm, 2.9g |
