Should there be an apostrophe here?
His nose was bigger than her's.
Or is it His nose is bigger than hers?
Thanks in advance!

No apostrophy. "Her nose" is already possessive.
I don't mean to say that "her" is always possessive. It is also a pronoun, as I'm sure you know.
You may say "the nose of her," in which "her" is obj. of the prep., but I wouldn't suggest it.
