<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3010819, member: 56859&quot;]Looks okay to me, although I can&#039;t readily explain the odd cracks below Hadrian&#039;s chin and above the scorpion.&nbsp; It looks pushed outwards on both sides in these images but maybe that&#039;s a trick of lighting.&nbsp; If that area under Hadrian&#039;s chin corresponds to the area above the scorpion, is it pushed out on one side and in on the other? (which might happen if something small and perhaps pointed struck the coin and damaged it at some point after production)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/hadrianafricadenarius-rt-jpg.556670/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>HADRIAN</b></p><p>AR denarius, 18 mm, 3.53 gm</p><p>Struck CE 134-138, Rome</p><p>Obv: HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, laureate head right</p><p>Rev: AFRICA, Africa with elephant skin headdress, reclining on rock, holding scorpion and cornucopia, basket of fruit before her</p><p>Ref: RIC II 299[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
