                                Description

     This coin was minted during the short reign of Nerva, who ruled
     from 96-98 AD. Nerva was a distinguished lawyer who held the
     consulship with Vespasian in 70 AD and again with Domitian in 90.
     On the assassination of the latter, he was proclaimed emperor,
     and did much to improve the condition of the empire during his
     rule. However, he lacked the capacity to command, and had only
     the half-hearted support of the army. This led him to adopt
     Trajan as his heir, and this was perhaps his greatest gift to the
     empire. The obverse of this type depicts the laureate head of
     Nerva facing right, with legends
     IMP.NERVA.CAES.AVG.P.M.TR.P.COS.II.P.P. The reverse features
     Fortuna standing left, holding rudder and cornucopiae, with
     legend FORTVNA.AVGVST.SC. Coin shows some light surface
     granularity, but otherwise grades a Good F, with clear to bold
     devices and most legends visible. A nice example of the scarcer
     coinage of this short lived emperor! All coins guaranteed genuine
     without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped
     on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. Visa/MC accepted for orders of $20 or more. Member ANA, PAN.
     Thanks!

                      Bidding is closed for this item.

If you're the seller or the high bidder - now what?

  1. Contact each other. The seller (praetorian) and the high bidder
     (ajfennel@itt.com) should contact each other within three business
     days to discuss payment and shipping details.

  2. Leave feedback for the other party once the the seller has received
     the payment and the winning bidder has received the item.
     Leave feedback to seller - Leave feedback to bidder.

Details for the seller and high bidder(s):
The seller should contact the winning bidder(s) with information on the
total cost, including shipping, and where to send payment. The winning
bidder(s) must pay the seller directly for the item(s), and it is the
seller's responsibility to fulfill the order when payment terms are met.
The binding contract of the auction is between the winning bidder and the
seller.

If the seller is unable to establish contact with the high bidder within 3
business days, the seller may contact the next highest bidder. Therefore,
if the high bidder does not contact the seller within 3 business days of
the end of the auction, he/she may lose the place as winning bidder, and be
at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder warning,
both of which can ultimately lead to suspension from eBay.
