=> that hippo is my 3rd most expensive coin (only the Syracuse Heiron I Tet and the Calabria Tarentum are nudging it out for top spot!!)

... it's a bit of a show-pony

 

=> it's actually a "rhino" ...



... but close enough, eh?



Cheers

 

Indeed nice

 

I was just about to type that i haven't seen a Hippo example before ( As Bing stated), when a second---and NOW a third---popped up on my screen LOL

Now I can honestly say I have seen two of them...and I love those coins!!!!

Great posts guys...and Gals...

You've posted some real beauties Oki, and this last one is no exception. Very nice. BTW, is there no end to Hadrian's coins? As I said in another thread, only 10 million more to go. Good luck.

i Had a good weekend

 

Wow, yummy-yummy => that's a very cool addition, my friend!! (congrats)

... quite a shaggy bearded look for Mr. Hadrian, eh? (nice coin, Oki)

=> nice dark patina with a few eye-appealing crusties (a total winner)

 

You are the king of Hadrian coin collectors. I don't know where you find them all, but you keep posting coins I've never seen. Maybe there truly are 10 million of these to collect. Congrats.

 

Thank you my friend, indeed a weekend beard, like i have now.
Haha

 

Howdy Bing,
On the new platform i told you about.
Indeed i am working on complete collection (if ever possible)
Thx on compliments guys.
Appriciated

Eric

 

We will never know how many types of ancient coins once existed and how many of them have not survived in at least one specimen. We were not joking about the 10 million.

 

I like that. "Hundreds of 'em". Yeah, the more I look and the more I see posted here and elsewhere, the more I realize this may just be a hobby that will last a few years till I get 'em all.
