<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsman, post: 3310921, member: 99177&quot;]Some coins I have to have. I couldn’t get my eyes of this sestertius. Fortunately, the dealer dropped a percentage of the price and I decided to have a go at it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has everything I like about collecting ancient coins. It’s heavy. The green patina is beautiful. The coin has a somewhat magical appearance with a vague green lady on the reverse with her scales and rod. I also love the portrait of emperor Hadrianus. All letters on the coin are visible and sharp. A big plus for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]877126[/ATTACH] </p><p>Hadrianus, sestertius.</p><p>22,97 g. 32,79 mm.</p><p>obv.
