                       Detail of Neronian countermark




 ID                            Description                            Price
R73 Claudius, AD 41-54, AE sestertius (23.29g). Obv: Laureate head of $70
    Claudius right; NCAPR countermark. Rev: Spes advancing left. RIC
    99. A Neronian countermark is really being offered here rather
    than a low-end Claudus sestertius. The sestertius is likely a
    contemporary imitation such as those commonly found in Britain.
    The countermark, NCAPR, stands for Nero Caesar Augustus Populi
    Romani or Nero Caesar Augustus Progavit. Old toned brass and
    interesting. VG/poor.
