expat Posted May 18, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Private seller has this as Wildwinds RICIII, 673 but I can't see it on Ocre, or I missed it. It is offered at a reasonable price but as a novice I am unsure about the surfaces. Any help or guidance would be most appreciated Edited May 18, 2023 by expat 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idesofmarch01 Posted May 18, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 18, 2023 In RIC II.3 (this entire volume is Hadrian), this coin appears to be number 820: Obv.: HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS Laureate head right, head only. Rev: COS III; S C in exergue; Ship right. Do you have the seller's description including size, weight, legend, and any other information?

The weight and size are within parameters for this coin. Here's a coin that sold at auction within the last year, in approximately the same condition, for around $60 including buyer's fee but not including shipping: The legends are more readable on the auction coin which is a plus for that coin. I see no reason to think the coin you posted isn't authentic, as long as the asking price is within reason (maybe $30 - $60) plus shipping. If it's really cheap, I would be more cautious.
