Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 4:57 pm Hi Uscoins, Nice coin! As a conservative estimate I would say your coin is worth $40-60 maybe a tad bit more. RIC = Roman Imperial Coinage, it is a volume of 10 books referencing the Imperial coinage. For example, your coin is referenced as #213 in RIC volume 5, i.e. RIC V 213 Cheers, -Kurt Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 5:01 pm Its a nice one - I see you've already got the ID, but if you didnt know how to ID them already, you should learn - you'll get a lot from it. The main resource I use is Wildwinds. You can find pages with long lists of all coins of an emperor (well, most, theres a lot of varieties they dont list). Look at the coin - this one reads IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG, which means 'The Emperor Claudius - Caesar - Augustus' - well, mixed about a bit. The late design style tells you its Claudius II. Then go to the page and search a bit based on the reverse design. Report this Post to the Staff
