Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 07:42 am I think COS III on the reverse translates to 128AD - ie, he was Consul for the third time, if I remember right. For a Hadrian denarius this is very granulated, they are usually preserved much better than this as they were made of good quality silver at this time. It must have lain in a particually nasty part of the earth to get degraded this way.

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 1:41 pm Hadrian held COS III from 119AD to his death in 137AD - 128AD is about right for this coin (maybe as late a 132AD). I think its Minerva on the reverse holding a spear and leaning on a shield. Hadrian coins are popular and therefore usually attract good prices, he was a decent emperor, has been remembered well and due to the walls he built (and their remains) all over the Empire he is prob one of the widest known Emperors today. As always prices vary between Dealers and ebay - I found a similar one on Forum Ancient Coins for about Â£200GBP - It should be noted though that it was in slightly better condition and as Bacchus2 has said the silver on yours is not as well preserved as most. I like the way yours looks - its nice. I could see it selling in an auction for Â£50, maybe a bit more if you get a bidding war. Poor quality Hadrian bronzes often fetch Â£20. If you can find the RIC number for it it could indicate if its rarer than the norm and maybe inflate the price. Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry for the stupid question.May I can know but on bulgarian but on english I don't remember.Very sorry for that Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 6:23 pm Yes - 330 is the RIC no. The following thread is good reading if you want to know more about RIC. https://goccf.com/t/79311 Its basically just a catalogue of known coins and an attempt to decide rarity etc. The other numbers are from other similar catalogues.
