Opinion On A Hadrian Denarius Please.

looks like a die match to my non-expert eyes.

Thank you for the replies. Straying out of the bronze coins into silver is pretty new to me, so maybe I'm being over cautious, but I feel better getting the opinions of those more knowledgeable.

@Palouche Yes Paul, it does indeed look like a very close match, and I'm sure it must be the one.

@january1may A thousand times better than my definitely non-expert eyes!

@sel_69l The reverses don't match exactly, there are a few small differences, so it doesn't look like a matched die pair. On closer examination with a glass, the cracks do appear to have sharp edges.

I had mulled over whether the last letter in the exergue was a "D" or a "B", but I do see now that it would be a "B".

Thanks again,
Jim

Hi Paul, at first I didn't realise that the top and bottom of the last character didn't line up. It is crystal clear in the illustration what the character must be. I can add this one to the collection now.

As only my second venture into silver, I'm pretty happy with it now.

Many thanks,
Jim
