My wife has cleaned another coin, and curious of what it is. It is in pretty bad shape, but there are a few things you can make out. Anyone who could point us in the right direction would be her hero (second to me)

It is a posthumous CONSECRATIO with eagle reverse of the Roman emperor Claudius II Gothicus, who reigned 260-270 AD.

Yours would have looked much like this in the past Idickersonc, though your eagle may be facing the opposite way.

We must be aware of the "unofficial" issues of the posthumous coins of Claudius II.

Bobby's example looks to be an official issue, whilst judging from the standard of the detail of the reverse, ldickersonc's example looks to be an "unofficial" issue.
