Hadrian's Wall, 1995 Snapshot

 

very nice.

 

Sorry about that! Oki is correct, 975. I got the wrong version of Salus.

 

its the P P

 

Ah. I see that it is. Well I just can't seem to get that coin right. I'll leave the Hadrian attributions to you then.

 

Awesome coins Oki...

 

My precious Hadrian. Barbarous issue..
I collect mostly rarities .
look carefully the elaborate hair .
The portrait is not official .

 

nice and the reverse?

 

Sorry, guys, I'm new in this forum, still have some difficulties with uploading.
Here it is the reverse
Photo is not very good but you can check it in NGC.

 

Finally found the old photo service from NGC
Here it is again this gorgeous denarius.

 

Beautiful Hadian denarius!!! And I love the scarcity or rarity of the issue...and like most of us on this forum, I have an irresistible urge to 'liberate' it from the slab LOL

I can't wait to see more of your collection...Please open a new thread when you get a chance and show them off
