    Wow, Oki => that's a fantastic Hadrian prow-coin! (congrats)

    Easter coins, eh?

    Hmmm?

    => well, Easter is all about Jesus, eh? ... so how 'bout Jesus and/or Zombie Jesus?

    Lovely coin @Okidoki !

    I have an "Easter" coin that arrived this morning, but I'm currently staying with family and won't be able to do anything with it until I'm home Sunday night. I guess it will have to be a "Monday" coin. :/

    Good looking Hadrian coin. Really like the reverse, I'm looking for a Hadrian too, so please stop buying Hadrian coins for a little while. :D

    j.k.

    Very interesting Hadrian denarius, Eric.
    I am guessing the attribution to an eastern mint is in the style of the bust and galley, correct?

    Okidoki you were lucky in that one. I was trying to order that myself but had to update my shipping address. In the time it took me to do that the coin went from in my cart to sold. Stupid cheap.

    Confused by your reply.... I wasn't calling you stupid, I was referring to the price of the coin. Just wanted to clarify.
