I wish I could take pictures as beautifully as some of you do! Although I guess I don't do too badly with just an iPhone and desk lamp.

Anyway, here's a Hadrian tetradrachm I got a few days ago. I had some doubts about its authenticity and had foregone posting it until now, but I feel better about it now, having had several knowledgeable people look at it. I'd been wanting one of these for a very long time, but wasn't expecting to actually get one!
