<p>[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 1805907, member: 54140"]I took the plunge and big in my first Frank S Robinson auction. With that sale he sent out an e-mail for 'budget' coins. He already has himself as a repeat customer in my eyes just after his budget sale and how he operates. While there may be no pictures for the coins in his budget sale I am happy with how they turned out. Also this is the fastest I have ever received coins from the states. </p><p><br /></p><p>I must admit I felt like a newborn shark going after a whale. All of the adult sharks knew the drill and were in and out so quickly I am surprised I walked away with anything. I know as soon as the e-mail comes to me next time to read quick and order even quicker!</p><p><br /></p><p> I need some help with the Hadrian since I can't find an exact match to the type. It is a Sestertius for sure and appears to have the IMP CAES DIVI TRA PARTH F DIVI NER NEP TRAIANO HADRIANO AVG legend however I can't find a match for the reverse. All of the FORT RED reverses with the obverse legend have the SC below the FORT RED. This one has it between Fortuna's rudder and the goddess for the S and the C on the other field.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/75MUbXUl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The Gordian III shouldn't be too hard to ID for me but that will happen a bit later since I don't quite have time to do it tonight.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/itKYS1il.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I am happy with both coins.
