<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 1897496, member: 21445&quot;]Couple of weeks ago I acquired this hadrian from Matt, Lost Duchman here on CT, via some ancients he had for sale here. I bought it solely for the reverse. I knew it was pretty common but when I got it in the mail I noticed something off, no Laureate on the head.&nbsp; So as usual I skimmed all known research sites and only found 1 eastern and none via Rome mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Talked to Curtis Clay regarding it and his reply is below:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Strack 187 records that bare-headed bust type in Vienna, Florence, and Oxford. Oxford spec. illustrated pl. III, looks like same obv. die as yours. Seaby&#039;s Roman Silver Coins, Hadrian 466a, records this variety from Strack. <b>Certainly rare!</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>So the coin ended up being a rare acquisition.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea the RIC #, if there is one. Anyone knows I would appreciate what it is, thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://s3.postimg.org/su77ygz03/hadcres.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Hadrian ( 17 - 138 A.D.)</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>O:HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS,&nbsp; Bare head right.</p><p>R: COS III, seven stars within and above crescent.</p><p>3.3g</p><p>19mm[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
