<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1996730, member: 19463"]I made the mistake of telling Steve how many coins I bought at the Fredericksburg show so now I have to show the also ran items. I can take the opportunity to make the point that it is good to buy what is available while it is available. A dealer at the show had a couple hundred coins of Claudius II. These were not rarities and not perfect but just presentable specimens mostly of a half dozen types. I bought examples of the types I did not have. All are Rome mint and reasonably well struck on the reverse. The dealer did not identify them but was just selling them as 'your choice' picks. All appear to have received the same cleaning so all probably came from a hoard together. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]357223[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]357224[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]357225[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I think that leaves one coin not shown but I have to go.
