Just after opinions on the authenticity of this coin. Recently bought it, and am just starting to get into ancients! Any opinions and grades would be greatly appreciated!

That looks like a good solid pick up. He is pretty affordable for such a notorious emperor.

It looks genuine to me, I like how centered the obverse is, full legend. The reverse is soft, but that seems to be pretty common

Looks perfectly fine to me. I have the same coin with a somewhat different portrait:

In my opinión it's a really nice coin..
Good detail even on the reverse you can c the beads of the abacus and the face of Lib,4 me it's a nicely detailed coin even with the tiny flan crack.

Thanks for all the insight everyone! I am quite happy with this piece, it looked correct to me, but I know there are a few different dies used and wasnt sure if mine was authentic. I feel much more assured and happy that everyone else thinks its as beautiful as I do! I got it for under $100 so I believe I did good :)
