[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 3861727, member: 57495"]Welcome, and thanks for picking up the Claudius II. I was the consignor and am pleased it's found an appreciative home. I agree the portrait is excellent, and in addition to that, it has a nice, clear SPQR mintmark and a great provenance (ex Finn Johannessen) to boot. Thanks for the additional info on the JB Collection. I was happy to win this lovely drachm of Corinth, which was one of my two main targets. I just love the doublestruck portrait and imagine it was what drew 'JB' to the coin, too. [ATTACH=full]1021796[/ATTACH] CORINTHIA, Corinth, c. 350-300 BCE, AR drachm. 2.55g, 13mm. Obv: Pegasos flying left Rev: Head of Aphrodite left, wearing hair in sakkos; [S before], I behind. BCD Corinth –; SNG Copenhagen 127. From the JB (Edmonton) collection. Scarce variety, lovely toning.[/QUOTE]
