wow => great additions, Cucumbor!!

please keep'em comin', gang!!

 

Very nice coins. I've got one crappy bargain bin ant of Gallienus that I'm too embarrassed to post.

 

AR Antoninianus from Milan:

 

AE Antoninianus from Rome with Hippocamp:

 

AE Antoninianus from Rome with the Pegasus:

 

AE Antoninianus from Cyzicus:

 

That's really a beautiful coin. That's probably the kind of coin that would get a gF grade, and the letter grade would make no difference to the eye of the beholder. The round flan, full legends, complete devices, and green patina make it what it is.

 

These are my Gallienus 'zoo' coins so far, some of the easy ones.

Does anyone have any of the really difficult ones?

Just click on the edit button at the bottom of the post and redo it. I would like to see your Gallienus animal series, because it's a collection I'd like to attempt some day.

 

Hi gang => hey, it's only Day-2 outta 6 days => don't run out of steam on me yet!!

Post your daily coin(s)!! ... thanks gang (today is Gallienus Day)



Actually, I guess you guys already recently posted your Gallienus coins in the "alphabet thread", eh? ... oh well, you can still comment on my purdy coin and/or you can still post those coins again, if ya want!!

Ummm ... geee, who wants to guess what tomorrow may bring? (not that I'd say if you're correct)

 

Gallienus and Apollo Standing

Gallienus and Pegasos

Gallienus and Centaur

 

I have one new (big) coin to post, but I'll wait until I've finished a bit of a writeup on it

 

Oooh, a new AJ coin! Can't wait to see it.

Maybe we should start a contest to guess what you bought
