When you write me, please tell me if you are not in the US (it changes shipping costs).
After I confirm I still have the coin, you can pay with Zelle (preferred in the US) or PayPal to my e-mail address or Transferwise (preferred from abroad) and I also accept checks. (I am on Pacific time, so if you are in the east and write me at 8:00 am it is only 5:00 am where I am.)

Shipping in the US is $2 for orders under $25, $3 up to $50, $4 up to $100, and an additional dollar for each hundred thereafter.
Shipping to other countries: Shipping is an additional $3 for orders under $200 and payment must be with PayPal. (Thick coins change an "envelope" into a "small parcel" which costs significantly more in postage. I can mail about three denarius-sized coins as an "envelope", but not large Byzantine bronze or sestertii.) I do not accept orders over $200 from abroad. When you order, please tell me which country you live in and I will get back to you with shipping before you confirm your order.

Could this be a very well done ancient imitation? If so, it is much better than the 13 illustrated in Banti and Simonetti.
I like the surfaces. Nice. [$125]

Claudius, 41-54.
From Roman Britain.
Read about Roman Britain and you will find that after the successful invasion by Claudius in 43 AD the province rapidly adopted Roman money, but the central government did not supply enough. The locals filled the gap, mostly with local imitations of the Claudius/Minerva type.
24 mm. 3.93 grams. Thinner and lighter than official issues.

Claudius, 41-54.
27-25 mm. 10.28 grams.
LIBERTAS AVGVSTA
RIC Claudius 97
This type is from the mint of Rome, but is weak enough to suggest it may be an ancient imitation. It might just be very worn and a bit crude. The lettering is pretty good. I'll make it inexpensive for anyone who wants one of the 12 Caesars. [$19 SOLD]

touches pig held by a figure kneeing between them
Crawford 234/1. Sear I 111
Nice toning. Reverse figures fully on the flan. Pig clear. [$119]

Fourrees with especially remarkable reverses. The original would be a very expensive coin, and finding an imitation of it is extremely unusual and the imitation may well be unique of its type.
Search vcoins under "fouree" and "fourree" to see what dull reverse types are offered for. You will probably never see these good types again.
