[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 3070751, member: 39084"]A year or two ago my collection branched out from 12 Caesars to include coins of Hadrian. His imperial coins are of universally high engraving quality and high minting standards. As of this time, I have only two travel series coins but am actively pursuing others. One of my first ventures into this area resulted in a high-quality forgery, documented in this thread: [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/hadrian-aureus-a-tale-of-subtle-differences.283959/[/url] More recently I've had the good fortune to add both an aureus and sestertius: [ATTACH=full]771591[/ATTACH] HADRIAN 117 - 138 A.D. AE Sestertius (25.62 g.) Rome ca. 134 - 138 A.D. RIC 840 HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P Laureate head of Hadrian right Rev. Africa, draped, wearing elephant-skin headdress, recl. L, r. hand holding scorpion, cornucopia behind. [ATTACH=full]771592[/ATTACH] HADRIAN 117 - 138 A.D. AV Aureus (7.15 g.) Rome ca. 134 - 138 A.D. RIC II -- cf. 298g HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P bare head of Hadrian r. Rev. Africa, draped, wearing elephant-skin headdress, recl. L, r. hand on neck of lion stg. L. grain ears behind[/QUOTE]
