I bought an As of Nero again, my previous as of Nero was nice, but quite rough. I was able to sell it for a good price and did the following purchase:

It has the typical Nero portrait I wanted. The reverse is has some old pits of bd I think, but still nice imo.

Denomination : As
Date Struck : AD 66
Diameter : 27 mm
Weight : 10.2 g

Obverse Description : Bare head right, globe at point of bust
Reverse Legend : S [P Q R] / S - C
Reverse Description : S - C to the right and the left of Victory alighting left, holding shield inscribed S [P Q R]

Nice coin with nice details and patina. I don't see any signs of BD. I have one of these but mine is very rough, like yours much better.

Definitely a nice 'upgrade'. Your pics are quite good too ! Much better than the sellers pics which I saw.
You are certainly getting a very keen eye for the "better than it looks" listings.
Finding these gems among all the so so coins listed everyday is an acquired skill which you seem to have mastered with amazing speed !
You could not go to a major coin show in Boston or New York and find one as nice for under $200-250.

We did exceedingly well on this one ...... I am quite jealous !
