Nerva Sestertius
« on: August 09, 2011, 05:25:13 pm »
Now the second coin.  I have no reason to believe it is not genuine, but to be on the safe side I wanted to get some "expert" opinions.  I checked the fakes gallery, no matches but there were Nerva Fortuna coins in there.  The only reason I am asking is it has been a while since I bought this and the Hadrian and bought both at a very reasonable price and with the excellent condition wanted to make sure that they are authentic.  They look right in hand, feel right but being a rank amatuer just want to double check.    Thanks again for any opinions.
