I don’t know what it is… they’re common, often in rough shape and sometimes the artistry isn’t great… but I love Claudius II and his coins. Sounds...
Looks great! Claudius II Gothicus AE Antoninianus. Rome Mint 268 AD. Obverse: IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right....
The temp number is the tentative number given as they work on the update to the RIC volume (may change as the project continues). The RIC...

Great coins all! I have a coin similar to the great coin shown in the OP but I guess not yet photographed. In place, here’s a Maximinus as Caesar...
Great coins all, this is probably my most life-like portrait on a coin. [ATTACH] And this is probably my best example of "eastern style" which is...

Here’s mine, one of my favorite Claudius II coins. [ATTACH] Claudius II "Gothicus", Antoninianus Cyzicus mint, AD 269. IMP CLAVDIUS P F AVG,...
I have a Coin Cat Assistant too! There are times where I’ll struggle to get a good photo of a coin. I’ll take tons of pics, messing with lighting,...
[ATTACH] Heres a big heavy Constantius as Augustus from Trier RIC 642a. (I’m on my phone without measurements handy but if there’s any interest, I...
