2 Claudius coins on auction, identical looking worn busts???
« on: June 27, 2022, 08:29:40 am »
I was scanning an auction and noticed a couple Claudius AR Cistophorus with different Rev but near identically worn busts, seems a little odd, am i wrong to think that?

Not unusual that coins with some wear would resemble one another.

"Nearly" identical is definitely not adequate to raise any suspicion.
I see no reason to cast any doubts on these coins.

Coin 1 = coin 3, coin 2 = coin 4.
