Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 12/06/2013 7:44 pm I bought this coin not intending for it to be the one I fell off the wagon with. It was at a good price and I believe I could flip it for a moderate profit to add to my 'buy a really awesome coin fund'. Then it arrived today and looks so gosh darn good and I am such a sucker for Hardian coins. I am seriously debating keeping it now. Hadrian Dupondius Obv. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS radiate head read, drapery far shoulder Rev. COS Salus seated left, feeding snake from patera SC in exergue I can't be sure on an RIC number since the number of consulships is missing. My best get would be COS III but can't say for certain. This will be an internal battle with myself it is hard to say no since the price was so good. If I kept it it would be my fourth 'keeper' Hadrian Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 02:41 am My only small issue with it is that its really been overcleaned, down to the metal in nearly every spot, but if the price was good then I'm glad you got a good deal. Try leaving it in olive oil for some time to help darken it. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 05:01 am I have a method that could help it - just repatinate it. If you like it, keep it. You can always sell it if you get a nicer Hadrian down the line. Report this Post to the Staff

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4973 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 11:08 am a little olive oil bath may not be a bad idea actaully...darken it up a bit, the color as it is now with the metal isn't far from attractive. Report this Post to the Staff
