Last 3 of the Year

Here are my last coins I have gotten for the rest of this year.

Big thanks to @randygeki for the Constantine I & Johann Kreuzer, we usually exchange every year.

Picked up this Hadrian Tetradrachm fairly cheap since it several blooms of bronze disease, but the coin also seemed a bit scarce to rare as I couldn't find any examples of this YEAR online, other than on RPC Online.

If anyone else has info, it would be a big help.

that 2nd coin interests me. That double cross looks so cool.

 

Those are great coins to finish out the year, @Mat! If there was bronze disease on the Hadrian, I don't see any remains. Nice work!

 

Thanks, Nic.

 

Very nice coins @Mat to close out the year. My favorite, despite not collecting them, is the Hadrian tet. The reverse is really nice, I love Nilus and the crocodile.

 

Great coins @Mat - you are going out of 2018 with a bang!

 

Very nice tet Mat! Glad the others arrived.

 

A few neat additions to finish off the year! Love the Hadrian tet.

 

I love that Hadrian! Great way to finish out the year!

Way to finish! That kreuzer is pretty cool!

I never saw the type before, I like it too.
