<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2735289, member: 19463&quot;]Coins of this nature do not belong in a collection of those who want one coin per ruler.&nbsp; The coin was listed as unpublished.&nbsp; It was a very untypical coin of Hadrian.&nbsp; It was an overstrike with identifiable undertype.&nbsp; It was Provincial silver.&nbsp; Specialists in any of those areas would want the coin and bid accordingly.&nbsp; It was not the sort of thing that would sell cheap and a much nicer looking &#039;ordinary&#039; Hadrian - perhaps a travel series coin? - would be much more appropriate for the single Hadrian in a collection.&nbsp; At the show last week I saw and passed a real stunner of the Nilus reverse which was 1/3 the cost of this Cistophorus.&nbsp; I hate to think what you could get in a typical coin for $2k.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if anyone has ever tried to build a one per ruler set using only &#039;only known&#039; coins.&nbsp; It strikes me as ridiculous but we all see things differently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
