(Today's Ancient) Carus with Eagle SECR...

Here is one I just pulled from the H2O2 and rubbed off the loose crusty surface grim.* In hand it's simply beautiful with a light blue patina.* I didn't want to do anything else with it.* I believe it's Carus with an eagle turning it's head right SECR. What do you guys/gals think?

Take Care

Or it could be Claudius II... http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear/s3227.html

Judging from the L over his head,I'd go with Claudius.It looks like you can see the O from DIVO at 10 O'clock,then bottom of CLA but the next letter doesn't look much like a V but who knows.It might be the base of VD together.

 

I think its an antoninianus of Claudius Gothicus.

 

A great additoion to your collection mate :thumb:

Claudius to me also.
