Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 8:11 pm I can't think of any portraits of Nero with a full beard including mustache which he appears to have. Nero was more of a neckbeard kind of guy if I recall correctly Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/04/2014 11:21 am Unfortunately, not tooled. Perhaps made to appear so. This coin appears to be struck from modern dies - the seller had two Neros up for sale, both appeared tooled, but on closer inspection, both came from identical dies (or perhaps were tooled exactly the same, by a steady hand). Unsurprisingly, one of the two dissapeared before sale. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/04/2014 12:26 pm This sold a couple of days ago over ebay - I believe its a German seller. He's been selling quite a few 'questionable' coins. (on closer inspection, both coins come from germany, but different sellers...one who is quite well respected it seems. They both sold at the same time, about a minute apart) This coin and the other coin. That makes it more curious, if anything: Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/04/2014 1:20 pm Both in the same city. I looked back over the last 15 days sales and there is something definitely odd about them. Stylistically they are similar. Report this Post to the Staff
