<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2211298, member: 74968&quot;]It finally arrived! I have been waiting almost three weeks for this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have been looking for a denarius of Claudius for a few months and I finally found one. While I hesitate to use the word rare it certainly is quite a scarce coin. In the sold listings I found 5 examples on acsearch and 4 examples in CNGs archives. I know it is worn...but I love it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>While the legend on the obverse is very difficult to read I believe I have deciphered enough of it to make the following attribution. The legend on the obverse appears to be counterclockwise which would make this coin RIC 32 rather than RIC 14.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Claudius AR Denarius. 50-51 AD. TI CLAVD CAESAR AVG P M TR P VI IMP XI, laureate head right / CONSTANTIAE AVGVSTI, Constantia seated left of curule chair, hand raised to face. RIC 32, RSC 8 BMC 31.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really do not like slabs but it will remain in the slab until I am sure I can remove it without damaging the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This will be a very&nbsp; nice addition to my twelve Caesars project. I have 6 left to finish the project: Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Galba, Vitellius, Titus, and Domitian.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]432054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432055[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
