[ancients] Post your Hadrians...

Mule Hadrian Denarius Roma 134-38 AD Justitia.
Reference.
RIC -; BMC-; Strack p. 219, 41 (Vienna); RSC 883c.

Bust C1

Obv. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS. (P P missing)
Laureate, draped bust, viewed from front

Rev. IVSTITIA AVG COS III in ex.
Justitia seated left, patera in right, vertical long scepter in left.

3.30 gr
19 mm


Note Curtis Clay.

These are mules from an old rev. die: the lack of P P in the obverse legend means that it should have been added to the rev. legend, but these coins are from one or more rev. dies that had been engraved before that change was made, and were later erroneously coupled with at least two of the new obv. dies without P P.

I browesd the thread to remember what I had posted in it : fortunately only six posts in the four first pages, that was easy doing (BTW, when you mouse over your small avatar apearing at the right angle of the OP's avatar, you can see how many times you have posted on the thread, but can't directly access to your own posts)

Anyway, apart from seeing some real wonders, that was to discover I have two more Hadrians/non Hadrians I have not posted yet : antoniniani featuring Hadrian in the Divi series. I think they belong in this thread too

I did not know that! I worry that I post too many repeats to mega-threads like this but have no inclination to reviewing 47 pages to find my nine previous posts so it is easier just to ignore it unless I have a new purchase to show. I wish there were a simple way of knowing which images I had shown so duplicates could be avoided but it an interesting statistic. I discover there is a thread to which I have posted 272 times and for that I apologize.

 

I did not know that either! While it would be better to be able to click that and see the posts, at least it gives some info .

 

That is what I wanted to implie

Q

 

Technology is a problem. When we get a new tech-toy we immediately set to wishing something better, faster, more powerful, easier to use, more.......

I enjoy this tool as it is but certainly would like it to be 'my way' improved and am certain that the software designers of the next generation are already working on such matters. Ancient coin collecting has changed in the time I have played in this field but I'm not sure whether anything I have done has made it better. If I have, it was being early in the concept of FREE information exchange on the subject. We went for quite a while before some people decided that paid memberships were better for them. I still need to remember to thank those people (like CNG, Wildwinds etc) who continue to promote ancient coin knowledge free to the world. It is the 'open source' technology of our hobby.

 

I just tried something and it appeared to work... If you are within a thread like this one we're in right now, and go over to the search and click the field it pops open the rest of the options. With in those options, you can leave the search field empty/blank and instead click "Search this thread only" (which deselects the "Search this Forum only" default option), and if you put your username (or whomever you want to search for within that thread) in the "Posted by Member:" field, you get back the posts from that member in that thread.



I tried it with Doug's and I got 11 results from Oct 2013 - 32 minutes ago; TIF, I got 42 results returned; 200 returned for Okidoki.

 

Thank you, Justin Lee! That shows that the software here is advanced beyond my understanding of it but ......... I still would like to be able to search for an image so I could tell easily which coins I have shown before and which would be 'fresh'. Like I said, as soon as technology advances, we start thinking how we would like it to give us more and more and more.

 

Agreed and understood. I tried to use Google's reverse image search, but it isn't really that great.

I used an image of a Hadrian coin you posted on here, focused the search on this specific thread and it returned a page 30 that you posted it on, but not the page 2 post where you posted it initially and where I got the image from. It also mistakenly (false positive?) listed page 15 in the results, but you didn't have a post on page 15. Yep, the tech isn't quite there yet... it's trying though!

Edit: Bing isn't much better (not the one we know and love ).

 

Yes, it works fine, thanks a lot Justin

Q

 

Yes. It worked for me too.

Q helped me figure out the where we can see how many times we posted to a thread. On the main table of contents page:
https://www.cointalk.com/forums/ancients/
there are 20 rows of thread titles. One looks like this:



The eyeglasses symbol to the left of "Replies" means I have participated in that thread. The avatar on the left (in this case, of TIF who started the thread) has my avatar superimposed, smaller, at its lower right. When I hover my cursor over it, in a second it says "You have posted 2 messages in this thread." Then I can find them using the method described above by @Justin Lee .
