danielus New Member Argentina 21 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 5:32 pm Hello. I got this coin. I think it's a sesterce of Hadrian, but I can not identify anything because of their poor condition Cry. Could anyone help me? Even if only the period to which it belongs? 32 mm. Roma? Has a cornucopia in the left hand. Thank you for everything. Greetings from Argentina. Grin Daniel Tissera I thought. The closest thing is this. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 10:13 pm It is definitely Hadrian, but give me some time to check on the attribution. There isn't much to go on, but someone here will find it. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 10:26 pm Without a legend it is tough, and I can't make out any legend front or back. However, if the reverse is as you descibe it, it just may be Hadrian AE Sestertius, RIC 636. The size is about right. You don't give the weight, but RIC 636 should be around 30g and 33mm. If it is RIC 636, the obverse legend would be HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, laureate head right; reverse legend would be COS P P, Roma seated left, holding Victory and cornucopiae, FOR TRED in ex. Struck 124-128 AD. Are you able to make out any letters on either side? This could confirm the attribution. Report this Post to the Staff
danielus New Member Argentina 21 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 11:01 pm Hello: thank you all for your work and time. I can not see most of the cornucopia on the edge of the coin. I found one that is closer. but I can not identify any letters. Hope you find it useful. Sorry for my poor English. Greetings. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 11:31 pm Your English is fine. Don't apologize. Most Americans can barely speak our native language. Again, your English is very good. Well, There is not much more to identify on your coin. If you can see the cornucopiae and the weight and measurement is about the same I think we have attributed the coin as best as we can. BTW, . Its good to have you on the discussion board.
