jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 12/04/2015 10:52 pm Hard to take pictures in the 2 by 2. Looks to be in fairly high grade. I will remove if necessary for better ID. The opening in the 2 by 2 is for a US Nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 12/04/2015 11:32 pm Hi Bob L, Thank you for your input. It is far better than what I had before, I appreciate it. What grade would you call it? Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/04/2015 11:47 pm Personally I'd give it a VF+ obverse, F+ reverse. Perhaps the reverse deserves better...that pic is a bit fuzzy, so hard to tell for sure. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/08/2015 4:57 pm I agree with Bob, that is a very nice portrait of Claudius II. I have always thought that his coins had some of the better portrait artwork of the 3rd century Roman coins. This type is very common, and was apparently only issued in 270, for a few months after his death. I have a few in my collection, but none with that much detail on the portrait.
