Laureate head right; TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP. Oak-wreath; EX SC OB CIVES SERVATOS (RIC I, 96).

Now that is an attractive coin. I bet even Agrippina and Messalina liked it... at one time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever had a PROB. I do have a Claudius Sestertius (imitative / "unofficial mint" / "branch mint") with the much more common NCAPR countermark. Host coin's a bit worn but the countermark is very clear. It's interesting that your PROB is right on the face. Happily, these NCAPR countermarks are never on the face (at least as far as I've been able to tell). They're usually behind the head, occasionally on the reverse, and very rarely in front of the bust (but never on the face). For one so common, there have been some interesting debates about what exactly it means and when it was struck. Mine is from the Richard Baker Collection, the Los Angeles area collector known for his important scholarly collection of countermark coins (CNG photo): 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Conduitt Posted August 9, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2022 That's a very clear countermark. 4 hours ago, Curtis JJ said: Host coin's a bit worn but the countermark is very clear. It's interesting that your PROB is right on the face. Yes as mentioned often online (see the note here https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=240438) R. F. Kenyon, who wrote about PROB, claimed "the countermarks were carefully applied, always in the right obverse field and never overlapping the imperial portrait. Coins were countermarked before they had seen much, if any, circulation." Obviously, he hadn't seen my coin 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
