                                Description

     This piece was minted during the reign of Claudius, who ruled
     from 41-54 AD. Claudius was saluted Augustus by the Praetorians
     who had murdered his nephew Caligula. He was thought to be
     weak-minded, and thus easily controlled, but he proved himself to
     be an able administrator, and personally took part in the Roman
     invasion of Britain in 43 AD, the beginning of an occupation that
     would last until the fifth century. He married his niece,
     Agrippina Junior, in 49 AD, and the following year Claudius would
     adopt her son, Nero as his heir. This would prove to be his
     undoing, as he would be poisoned in 54 AD, most likely on the
     orders of Agrippina, in order that Nero would become emperor. The
     obverse of this type depicts the bare head of Claudius facing
     left, with legends TI.CLAVDIVS.CAESAR.AVG.P.M.TR.P.IMP.P.P. The
     reverse features Constantia standing left, holding spear, with
     legends CONSTANTIAE.AVGVSTI.SC. Coin is struck on a smallish
     flan, and shows some light granularity, but otherwise grades
     AVF/F, with clear devices and legends where struck up. A nice
     example of the type, catalouged as RIC-95. All coins guaranteed
     genuine without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin
     shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add
     appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for purchases of $20 or
     more. Member ANA, PAN. Thanks!

If you're the seller or the high bidder - now what?

  1. Contact each other. The seller (praetorian) and the high bidder
     (singingwinds) should contact each other within three business days to
     discuss payment and shipping details.

  2. Leave feedback for the other party once the the seller has received
     the payment and the winning bidder has received the item.
     Leave feedback to seller - Leave feedback to bidder.

Details for the seller and high bidder(s):
The seller should contact the winning bidder(s) with information on the
total cost, including shipping, and where to send payment. The winning
bidder(s) must pay the seller directly for the item(s), and it is the
seller's responsibility to fulfill the order when payment terms are met.
The binding contract of the auction is between the winning bidder and the
seller.

If the seller is unable to establish contact with the high bidder within 3
business days, the seller may contact the next highest bidder. Therefore,
if the high bidder does not contact the seller within 3 business days of
the end of the auction, he/she may lose the place as winning bidder, and be
at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder warning,
both of which can ultimately lead to suspension from eBay.
