Here is the last of my "nice" ancients to post for the year. This sat on ebay for a few months & with no one buying, I decided to take a chance with blurry images and actually snagged it for a great price, even Curtis Clay thought it was a good deal.
I've also had it for a few month,s but just now sharing it.

Bump for being pushed down fast lastnight.
I really like double header ancients! Sweet coin and excellent way to end the year!
Great coin Mat. I really like the silver issues of Claudius. Having the bust of Antonia is a very nice bonus. Her coins are tough.
Beautiful example with basically complete legends. My kinda coin. Congrats!
A very nice coin.
Mat: wonderful coin, as usual. Awesome to have a portrait of Antonia.
Nice.
