Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 5:16 pm I can't make out the end of the obverse legend. It looks to me like it could read COS III rather than COS II. If that is the case, that would make it RIC 83. You have the coin in hand, so are a better judge of the legend. I have found that most Nerva coins are hard to come by at a price that won't break the bank. I know they are not listed as rare or hard to find, but the price for his coins seem high. So, I think you have a nice coin despite the minor cosmetic problems. Report this Post to the Staff

stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 5:34 pm nice looking coin ... you must have a lot of patience, for the details are very sharp/good ... ... oh, and it's far more glamorous if you tell people that a soldier's sword must have grazed the coin, rather than a shovel ...
