VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/08/2014 9:57 pm I rarely venture out into anything pre-300s AD nowadays, but I knew that coins of her were very scarce, and I wanted to get it if I was able to steal it for a bottom-feeder price. I did! Quote: Antonia Minor, also known as Antonia the Younger or simply Antonia (31 January 36 BC - September/October AD 37) was the younger of two daughters of Mark Antony and Octavia Minor. She was a niece of the Emperor Augustus, sister-in-law of the Emperor Tiberius, paternal grandmother of the Emperor Caligula and Empress Agrippina the Younger, mother of the Emperor Claudius, and both maternal great-grandmother and paternal great-aunt of the Emperor Nero. -Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonia_Minor) Antonia, Roman Empire AE Dupondius Obv: ANTONIA AVGVSTA, draped bust right Rev: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP P P, Claudius, togate, standing left, and holding simpulum Ref: RIC 104 Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 12:39 pm Good spot Having just checked these out on ebay they are not cheap in any state, the bottom-feeder crown heads your way for a while Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 1:23 pm Was it unattributed ? They are hard to come by. Fortunately in a moment of weakness I picked one up 25 years ago and of course can say now (finally) very glad I did ! The Julio Claudian family portraits are quite nice to have. Now you need to find a Nero Claudius. I bagged him at long last this past year. You need to have a great amount of patience but ebay can be great for tough ones ..... Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 5:41 pm Quote: Any chance it will clean up a little? Sure. The obverse is ok as is but the reverse looks like it can be improved. Quote: Was it unattributed ? Yes and no. It had who she was, and obverse/reverse description but no RIC number. Glad you like it guys! In case you all were wondering, $18 brought this coin home with me. Edited by VisigothKing 01/09/2014 5:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 01/09/2014 7:17 pm Didn't want to ask. Bad taste and all that. I usually try to keep price out of the equation. But when you 'steal' them it's hard not to want to brag a bit isn't it ? I would have bid on it if I was not trying to abstain of late. Then again I have my 10 ebay bucks I need to spend. Need to start looking around ! I once bought a Julia Titi sestertius from Antonio in Spain. Nothing to turn heads but what the hey. At about 40 clams it was good to get a 1st century rarity.
