<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1895737, member: 42773&quot;]Of course, RIC is incomplete, and it can&#039;t predict what&#039;s on the market at any given time. I think that&#039;s a splendid coin, Doug.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a Claudius II to share, although I don&#039;t have the coin in hand yet. Sometimes I take a little gamble on eBay, and so far I&#039;m batting a thousand, but my luck might run out on this coin. This seller&#039;s image was so odd that I auto-corrected it to get some idea of what the coin might look like.</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC calls it scarce, but I found 6 examples for sale on vcoins, and in my mind that isn&#039;t scarce at all. What I liked about the coin was the sharp devices - it appears to have been struck from fresh dies. But it also appears to have some green deposits and I&#039;ll have to wait and see whether they&#039;re inert, or whether I&#039;m dealing with BD. If it is BD, I think the coin is eminently worthy of conservation, but if it gets eaten alive, I won&#039;t end up at the soup kitchen for the $13 I spent on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]323448[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
