 Might of spent a bit to much on this one (what do you think?) but I really fell in love with the portrait of both Hadrian and Genius so I had to have it. This is also my first coin depicting a nude image! Draped and cuirassed bust of Hadrian, right. IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG Genius, nude, standing left, sacrificing over altar end holding corn ears. P M TR P COS III RIC 90 http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-S...p=true&rt=nc

Great looking coin, ticks all the boxes for me... and I don't think the price seems unreasonable for a coin with such eye appeal.
Nice pick up

I am far from a expert ...
I think it looks great and at a price I think seems very fair.

Beautiful portrait ! However, I just checked the ebay's sellers list.. The roman one up for auction seems to be authentic but the other two Greek coins look fake.. Any thoughts on this? |

I've purchased 2 silver denarii from this seller and both seem to be fine!
I'm not sure about the Greek ones though, we would need an expert to chime in on those
