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.

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.

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

I wouldn't pay more than $80-$85 for it, but I don't know how much these are going for though.

 - 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. |

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_1396Edited by Bing
