[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 5294571, member: 41219"]So my absolute last coin purchase of the year was a few coins listed as "Claudius". I was the only bidder and ended up winning them at $20 or $5 a piece. One was an actual Claudius, my first, As with Minerva on the reverse. The other 3 were Claudius II antoniniai (sp?). The one that interested me the most was this one... The obverse is clearly of Claudius II, with the legend reading IMP CLAVDIVS AVG and the reverse says APOLLINI CONS. I looked on wildwinds and couldn't find a match so I expanded a bit. I did find some references on OCRE but none of them mentioned it being a mule. However, vcoins listed several coins with the Claudius II obverse and the Apollo reverse being a mule. His brother, Quintillus having had the Apollo reverse. I was just wondering if I was wrong in assuming this was a mule coin or no... All comments welcome. [ATTACH=full]1222515[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
