Poor Claudius Gothicus?

The quality of this coin is not impressive, I am about to give up on uncleaned lots! Could anyone confirm Claudius?

Tetricus probably, as double G on reverse.
Or imitation.

It looks like an unofficial Tetricus SPES reverse.

I have had these two sitting for some time both look like victory adv. lft. The second of the two more of a fine line drawing and crisper rev. if you get help it will also help me.

instead of quitting uncleans perhaps you should consider switching to a better supplier.
about the coins, i also think they look like barbarous radiates.

These seem like Tetricus I coins to me too. They seem to have the distinguishing type of crown (big radiate).
