This coin has been in my collection over two decades now. It was among the first major purchases I made.
Looking at it again after a long time I am curious about the fairly unusual (read scrawny) looking portrait of the emperor. What a nose!
The surface quality is good and the patina very appealing, it is just the style of the portrait that strikes me as different after comparing with many similar examples in Acsearch.
I do not see any signs of tooling or such, but am curious to hear what is your impression of this coin.

Thanks!

Nice portrait. Looks like he got into a fight though with that bump on the nose.

Nice looking coin, beautiful patina. Nerva did have a misshaped nose with a bump on it. This however is the only one I've seen with the bump so pronounced.

Looks like Liberty (on the rev) also has a big schnozz.
