[ancients] Post your Hadrians...

Oki, did you just get the two Hadrian's in the Triskeles Auction? I know I saw your name on a couple more. I was expecting at least 5 coming from you!

The only two Hadrian's that really caught my eye that I think you hadn't bid on were the Galley and the Egypt ones and they were way out of my price range.

Pretty eye-appeal (your coin has a nice cozy look about it) ... yah, I seem to be drawn towards ancient coins that look like they've seen a few travels in their time (very cool addition, congrats)

 

yes man, back in europa after so many years i guess, look like it lay with tip above ground

Curious? ... ummm, do you "only" collect Hadrians?

Oh, and these two new additions are a couple more winners (congrats)

 

hiya Steve,

yes i do, Hadrian AE AR and Egypt.
sometimes other hadrian provincials
cu,
eric

 

Nice additions, Oki!

 

Yes, very nice coins, Okidoki. If I had unlimited funds, I would pursue a collection of Hadrians. Something about their style stands out from the other earlier empire coins.

 

thank you its not unlimited, (only looks that way ), money on bank is 1,2%, so better ancient Hadrians.

Another very attractive coin. You're assembling quite an impressive set of Hadrians.

I realized that I managed to get this one only because Oki wasn't interested in it, but I was pretty pleased nevertheless... it's from Hadrian's 'Travel series' and I had been looking to get HISPANIA for some time.

Problem is now have a nagging question... why wasn't Oki our resident Hadrian coinnoisseur interested in it? Is it because the rabbit looks abit more like a chubby rock with ears, or something else I'm missing. Really, what's wrong with my Hadrian, Oki??
