Clodius Albinus Augustus

(1/3) > >>

mix_val:
Don't have much experience with Clodius.  My attribution,
Obverse: IMP CAE D CLO SEP ALB AVG Laureate head right, seems to be lines of drapery on left shoulder
Reverse: SAECVLI FEL COS II Felicitas standing, head left, holding caduceus in right and branch in left

Suppose to be BMC 275-276, RIC 38, C 64 but no mention of drapery

Akropolis:
The image is a bit washed-out, but the coin looks suspicious to me. Possibly cast.

I'll try to tone down the photo so it's not so washed out.  Still learning.
Don't think that it's a cast as there are no obvious signs.   The style is crude but that is what is seen with the denarii of Clodius as augustus.     

areich:
The fact that you seem to have bought it unattributed alone is VERY suspicious.

mix_val:
I guess getting the coin expertised is the only way to answer this.   Buying from a reputable dealer or auction house is certainly wiser and I usually do this for my expensive purchases.  I bought this on ebay a couple of years ago and lost track of the attribution.
