Help With A Gift Claudius II 270Ad Consecratio

....but its about 3/4 the size of yours

Thank you guys seriously. I'm stuck in a dilemma. Do I send the coin to my recipient and allow him to return it, either bye getting the money back, or to pick out something else. Or do I return this gift and find something else. I'd really like to make the gift as special as possible but if I go with the later it won't get to the person until after xmas. I think the want all gifts to be exchanged bye the 15th.
Sorry I wasn't able to reply for a little while, my monitor took a crap on me. Can't get it to do anything but say Check Video Cable Its an HPw2207h. And my dog of 12 years is having her last days. Shes my baby and I believe she suffered a stroke, being shes unable to move much. And shakes a lot. Shes unable to get up at all anymore. Its so hard to watch 1 of the family go. Sorry to post this on this forum, I've been on CCF for about a year now, just normally troll modern, classic, GD, Bullion, and medal detecting. lol I will be adding some ancients to my collection! Holding pcs of history in your hand a such with a ancient leads me on a endless journeys and possible events. I love toying with the ideas of who handled the coin, and things like such. Thanks again, I've come to trust the members here on CCF, Why I didn't reach out before I purchased this coin first, I can't figure out. But if one of you have an ancient coin that you think a gentleman who collects ancient Greek and Roman coins would like for $30 I'd be interested in purchasing it. I haven't seen my receiver's name in any of the postings so I doubt I'll whined up buying the coin from the same guy I'd be giving it to. lol Ohh yea thats the reason I went out to Chance Bay. lol

Thanks JW, I'm going to miss her. She's the best guard dog you could ask for. No one can make it inside the gate without having to remove a 120lb Rot. That is that don't live here. She watches over my 3 year old son as if he were her own. That's something you can't replace. I'm going to check my email now. Thanks again.

It truly is the thought that counts here. It's a fairly common bronze, but that's not the point; it's a gift. Odds are your intended recipient will not have one (there are literally thousands of different Roman bronzes)and an Ancient coin is always welcome. This has a remarkably well-struck portrait and a nice patina-a nice addition to the collection.
