I am happy with this winner, on Agora auctions, normaly they do not come often in this quality. EGYPT, Alexandria. Hadrianus Hemidrachm 133-34 AD Isis Emmett 1090.18; Köln 1116; Dattari 1748; Obv.

I saw that and was going to bid but saw your name-- not that it will necessarily keep me away next time...
Realy ? I tif i appriciate your not bidding, haha i am very happy, i would not bid much more then what paid. Cheers, Eric
No, I haven't been bidding on any coins. The Canadian dollar has been doing exceptionally poor and the exchange rate adds more than I am willing to pay for most coins. Doesn't stop me from window shopping though!
Yes here same problem dollar up euro down. 1.1dollar vs euro Uk pound is terrible 1.3 euro vs pound :-( Good luck.
I have a few Hadrian provincials previously unposted. Here's the most recent one-- a type I've wanted for a year I'm happy with the reverse. Sure, I'd rather have a few more details on the lighthouse but overall it's a very attractive coin. Seller's images, edited. It arrived today but I need to wait for daylight to take good photos. Seller's pics are pretty good though... I may not be able to do better. EGYPT, Alexandria.
