perhaps I have......
« on: October 27, 2022, 04:28:58 pm »
I believe that I am in possession of this coin, Claudius II Gothicus, September 268 - August or September 270 A.D. The second on listed under the mention title. I have a few interesting coins. this one precedes them. I am wondering if I am correct? Would someone please point me in the correct direction. I will post a couple of photos Cheers, Sam

Welcome to Forum.  A lovely coin.  I really like the patina.  Are you asking if the attribution is correct?  Looks like Claudius Gothicus to me but I really don't collect these later coins.

Sorry, forgot the link.

By the way, that’s just my best guess. I’m fairly new, you may want one of the pros’ confirmation.
