R/ Annona standing r., holding cornucopia, facing Ceres seated l., holding grain-ears and torch; modius on garlanded altar between them, ship's stern behind. This rather rare coin certainly holds history and looks as if it comes from an old collection. very nice acquisition! i like coins, where I can see. They have a life!!!! and not perfect RIC I 390.

Nice portrait and some nice green patination. I like it ! You and I (and Dutch too) seem to have similar inclinations in coins. As I always tell 'Dutch' "The first century will always be number 1 !" You can't argue with that Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 11:37 am One of my favorite purchases from when ebay was still a 'pup' ! In 2001 I did not even own a computer ! I had a small 'web TV' device which allowed painfully slow bids to be executed. I was continuously sniped by other buyers. At the start of this auction I placed a bid of $68.33 With 2 seconds to go a sniper bid $68.25 ! Eight cents ! I wish I could have seen the face of the fellow who lost a Nero sestertius for all of 8 cents ! Balkan issue too. Note the characteristic 'dimple' on both sides Not the prettiest Nero .......... But for $68.33 I will take all you have ! Report this Post to the Staff
