it is an AS,

 

Superb detail on that as. That's a coin that could have been tooled and smoothed, but it was fortunately left alone.

 

Wow, my friend => I've gotta get myself one of those elephant-skin hats before our big Canada Day croquet and BBQ!! (what a fantastic hat!!)

Another amazing winner, Oki

nice coin friend

 

Know how they say fads come back over the years? Notice how the hair comes from the back of the head toward the ears. I seen hair styles like this today. Cool coin OKIDOKI love the facial expression.

 

Hahaha... once again we were stalking the same coins. I only won 2 out of 9. The two I really intended to buy looked unwanted and I bid in the last few seconds but someone else swooped in at 1- second (Clio again??) and I lost, despite bidding double or more the estimate. They were not expensive coins.

I did buy something a little more expensive in the Provincial section and decided not to bid on any of the Hadrians. They sure had a nice array of travel series denarii in this auction!

 

Lovely coin

New addition to my collection of Hadrianus, nice and sharp.

 

Nice addition, my coin-friend (man Oki, I was getting worried about you ... it had almost been a whole week since you'd posted a Hadrian!!)

 

alright here my friend, did you any new coins

 

I recently added a couple of new Ptolemys (nothing too fancy ... see yesterday's thread)

 

You weren't bidding on an Istros drachm were you? I won one with a bid at about 3 seconds left on Agora earlier.

 

Nope, I didn't bid on anything in Agora
