Another one from DOC in mid-cleaning. It has a beautiful light silver/gold sheen. I have not come across this reverse before and don't even know what to call it for search purposes. Since there's not much legend left, there's not much to go on for attribution other than portrait, size, and this reverse design.

Can one of you point me in the right direction?

This is coin B6 from the "My First Dirties" thread at https://goccf.com/t/149267

17mm, 3.0 gm

Looks like a Divo Claudio and the reverse is an altar.

Good to know. I thought it was a lampshade

I'll google some pics and see if anything matches. Claudius II?

You've been doing a nice job of cleaning them... much better than my first time.
