[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 3634591, member: 96898"]Just picked up this one three days ago. It was "bycatch" that came with a very different coin I had had my eyes on for a while – at merely €5 and combined shipping I couldn't resist this little Claudius II. It has some of the slightly undesirable features of Claudius' coinage: irregularly shaped flan, weak lettering, somewhat lazy engraving on the reverse. On a more positive note, the coin also has full legends, is struck on a large flan, has a well above-average portrait, good metal, and some remaining silvering. I, at least, am very happy with it.
