I wanted the coin I traded for more but always feel guilty trading away my children. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get all of the Claudius II reverses that were used with left portraits. I'll still feel guilty.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]549707[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>If I didn't have a good reason for buying the Claudius II, the Constantius II is worse. This isn't even that nice a coin but it is from the Heraclea campgate series that often has retained silver and I have several others from the group from the other rulers in the mix at that time. I didn't have this one and it was not expensive. Many letters suffered from the poor strike but it is readable and not all that ugly for the price. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]549708[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
