[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2462473, member: 39084"]A quick search on ACSEARCH turns up 325 hits, so it's not a rare coin. Values are all over the range, from $33 to over $33,000. I have one of these and it's among my favorite coins (see below). Your example appears to be genuine, and the obverse portrait is quite nice. It's missing the TI CLAVDIVS part of the legend on the obverse, which is a minus. The reverse of SPES is also fairly well done. It doesn't appear to be tooled. I wonder if it could be further cleaned to bring out more detail. What is the asking price? [ATTACH=full]516479[/ATTACH] CLAUDIUS 10 B.C. - 54 A.D. AE Sestertius (29.21 g.) Rome 41 - 54 A.D. RIC 99 TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP Laureate head right. Rev. SPES - AVGVSTA Spes, draped, advancing left, flower in right hand, raising skirt with left, S C in exergue. Ex. Luc Girard[/QUOTE]
