<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1812438, member: 19463&quot;][ATTACH=full]296201[/ATTACH]</p><p>I find a couple of interesting comparisons between our coins.&nbsp; Your ship sails right; mine left.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yours has the square sail unfurled while mine is tied up into a butterfly shape.&nbsp; Both coins have a weak line half way up the ram about where I suspect would be the water line.&nbsp; Is this part of the ship or actually a mark of where the water would be?&nbsp; Your ship is a bit larger making it harder to place the legends evenly as with my smaller ship.&nbsp;&nbsp; Your coin has a portrait head while mine has bust drapery.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you research the CNG site, you will find they have sold quite a large variety of this popular type with many little boat detail variations.&nbsp; It is a great type coin for any emperor but especially for Hadrian, the travelling man.&nbsp;&nbsp; I bought mine from a Stacks auction in 1992 and we have been quite happy together.&nbsp; I wish you the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
