NG75 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 11:16 pm Thank you for the fast reply. I took another look at the coin and it looks like "hadrianvsavg". Do you know what the O S III on the reverse means? Report this Post to the Staff

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 12:52 am Can't make out the reverse portrait, but COS III would put it from 119-122. Obv. legend per RIC for all of the COS III, Rome Mint is IMP CAESAR TRIAN HADRIANVS AVG Report this Post to the Staff
