Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 11:03 am I'm certain the coin might be; Hadrian AE Sestertius, RIC 970, Cohen 819, BMC 1372 Can you tell me the weight and dimensions of the coin as well. Here is a higher grade example from Wildwinds. Edited by Gil-galad 07/01/2012 11:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 3:54 pm Something seems off with the weight and size of your coin. Mine is 25.30 grs, 35mm, substantially larger and heavier than yours. Although your image does not appear to show a radiated portrait of Hadrian, the size suggests it is a Dupondius and not a Sestertius. If I am correct, that makes your coin a RIC 974 Report this Post to the Staff
