Claudius II Gothicus - Mint Errors

[-monolith-]

I rarely collect "late" Roman Imperial coinage but I will make an exception for error coins. Recent additions to my mint error collection:

I was the underbidder on the reverse brockage. Glad it went to a good home!

I was underbidder on several of the other error coins before that one. Now I wish I would have bid higher, but I had other auction wins to pay for.

I believe I was the beneficiary... So thank you for not bidding more! 😄

Nice coins, that reverse brockage is very cool.

With Claudius II coins, a more scarce mint error would be a coin with no clashed dies, full legends on a round flan. 😁

You actually have a clashed die reverse. You can see a faint ghosted image of the obverse portrait incused behind the portrait of Spes. His nose is under her right elbow with his forehead in front of her face and the rays (radiant) of his crown running the length of her head and left arm.

Oh yes, that’s why I posted that one. It’s virtually as struck and silvered but still a mess with a clashed die, ragged flan, legends drifting off flan, etc. I really like Claudius II coins, but I’d guess more of the ones in my collections have clashed die reverses than not!
