    That Gallienus is in fine condition, especially the reverse. Hmmm, I need a coin buddy like this.

    Hey, wait a minute?! ... chrsmat, did you re-finish that table of yours? (it looks quite nice in that first photo)

    Oh, and congrats on having coin buddies (must be because you're so neato? => please keep that up, my friend)

    Cheers

    The Gallienus is exceptionally good for the type. It's quite rare to get a well-struck reverse - that's a coin I would pay decent money for.

    I love sharing this decrepit Dianae Cons of mine, and why not in this case since it makes the OP Gallienus look even better :).

    Great coins!!! Guys, during this coming Spring, I'll be interested in trading and/or selling some of my Ancients....I still have one Emperor portrait album with some of their their wives left....and I've been aggessively purchasing more of all types of late ( I was forced to sell most of my ancient, modern and currency collection over a year ago). Perhaps we can work something out???
