<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1732577, member: 19463"]I'm sure all here would like to know how to attract such things to walk in and perch on our desks. I understand how an ocassional bag full of grandpa's coins could come to a storefront that says 'Coins' but I am a bit surprised that a single Antonia would be owned by someone who would drop it off (I assume to an employee in your absence?). Condition is lacking but the die work on this coin is excellent - especially on the standing Claudius reverse. Many coins of this period have metal erosion problems and they circulated long enough that many are more worn than yours. Condition certainly makes it not worth a lot but it is an interesting visitor just to drop in. </p><p>[ATTACH]271071.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>Mine is worn but has less corrosion. It was $34 in 1987 but probably worth more today since so many big spenders have joined the hobby in the last 26 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
