    Rereading an old magazine, i came across a coin advertisement that reminded me of a 'rule of thumb' number that was always on my mind----It said that only one percent of all ancient coins survived to the present date. If that 1% is anywhere near an 'accurate' estimate, it boggles the mind to consider how many were once in circulation...

    I don't recall seeing TIF's coin but I am having trouble remembering which of mine have been used here, too, and have no hope of remembering all of everyone's group. I like that one with year 4 but still a lot of Trajan in the face.

    My apologies if this is a retread. This is a silver hemidrachm of Caesarea, year 4, 1.36g. A friend specializes in Caesarea and told me it is as common as they get. Of course he has been collecting them longer than I have been alive and has some real rarities.

    Finally, there is this little scrap of bronze which I now consider a Provincial of Antioch, Syria. At 0.8g, these were once sold as the last of the Roman unicae but I see no reason today to call them that. I also have no idea how to tell a Trajan from a Hadrian on such a low grade coin.

    This one from acsearch is nicer. Not nice, just nicer.

    Now I'm sure I have shown all my Hadrian Provincials here. I would buy more if they came my way at a show but I'll prefer to see the Okidoki parade of champions.

    Regarding survival rates. I rather suspect enough coins were melted down and recoined that 1% is way too high as a survival rate. I'd like to know which of my 1st century silver coins contains some remelted EID MAR and how many Pescennius Niger/Didius Julianus contributed metal to some of my Septimius denarii. Maybe I'm better off not knowing.

    Holy Moly, Oki!! => are both of those sweet scores from today's CNG auction?!

    Winna-winna!! (I am especially fond of the cool grain-ears on the first coin's reverse ... although, it does kinda look like a rabbit's head?)
