        Hej-hej, Benito!

  Wow..!
  What a great little treasure!  I've still yet to find & acquire my 'Nerva' - a specimen like this would be more than fine!

  Will you try to re-photograph it..?  (Angle the light source maybe, for some shadowing, highlighting the reliefs..?).
  Just my unsolicited opinion of course, but this coin deserves it.
  &nd before you or anyone else says it, yes - I know - I am the proverbial black kettle calling the pot ...  If you look in my gallery you'll see how many coins are waiting for me to photograph them a first time, or better than I've managed yet.  Feel free to call me on it..!  ;)
 
 
     Best regards,
          Tia

Thanks Tia. Its a nice Fortuna, plump and not skinny as usual.. Yes I have to "rephotograph" many of my coins and I think the problem is the lighting as you mention.The problem right now is that part of my collection has been hijacked by my wife until some arrears on interest on her loans to me are paid. Rather Merkelian the
lady .I've had to cut my visits to other venues.
You have a nice and eclectic collection.

Wonderful coin! Still looking for a good nerva to Round out my addoptive emperors denarius set. He's an ellusive fellow to find a quality coin at a decent price!
