Prieure de Sion Posted September 24, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 24, 2022 Bertolami Numismatic. Nero (54-68). Æ Dupondius (30mm, 13.18g). Lugdunum, c. AD 66. Laureate head l., globe at point of neck. R/ Securitas seated r. on throne, holding sceptre; lighted and garlanded altar to r. RIC I 519. First. This is not my coin! I've been annoyed all day that I just let this beautiful Nero Bronze go today. There are coins that you like straight away. And I'm very annoyed that I didn't buy it at an auction. Was one of you present one of the lucky ones? I need to vent my frustration. There are too few Nero coins shown here in the forum. Make me happy after today's loss - show me your Nero coins please.... 14 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPK Posted September 24, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2022 Sorry! I know how that is. You think you're being responsible not buying the coin, only to regret it later. My only Nero coin is this sestertius which I snapped up the instant I saw the listing: 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a number of fine Nero Tets go through my hands, coins I've sold for one reason or another. I do have one fine example left in my collection ☺️. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prieure de Sion Posted September 24, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 I have no luck with Nero. I always do the wrong thing, which I regret afterwards. I sold this Nero in 2021. And regretted it. But even worse. The buyer later put the coin up for auction and I had the chance to buy it back. And I didn't. And regretted it! I idiot! Then I had got this Nero Tetradrachm. But I got a good offer and sold it. And guess what - right - regretted it! And now today. Nero is chasing me! I MUST defeat the curse - I need a Nero coin. Help! 😄 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarmur Posted September 24, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 24, 2022 You already saw mine (it's my most prized ancient). The portrait is nice but he looks too friendly I've read he was decently popular in his first 6 months and in the provinces. Maybe somewhere along the road I'll pick up another Nero (who looks a little more evil and or fat) 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
