<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1901097, member: 42773&quot;]This Claudius II arrived today. I thought it was a decent bargain bin coin - looks to have been struck from fresh dies, and the legends are only slightly clipped. I was concerned that the green spots might be a problem, but I tested them and they are hard deposits, nothing to worry about.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the color of this coin. Either some of the the silvering has remained, or the alloy has enough silver to give the copper an attractive golden-green glint.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Claudius II Gothicus</b></p><p>AE Antoninianus, 20mm, 3.47g, 12h; Rome mint: 269-70</p><p>Obv.: IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG; radiate and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>Rev.: GENIO EXERCI; Genius standing left, holding patera and cornucopiae.</p><p>Reference: RIC 5a 48 (p. 215)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]325025[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
