    Here is a left facing Gallienus, Mercury rev. I got in trade a while back.

    One day I saw another one for sale that I did not buy (2nd pic) , but still it's fun to see a match.

    When overlapped they line up really cool.

    I think they say, the more common a coin is the less likely to find a die match, but I'm not sure about that.

    => cool pickup and great comparison

    Cheers, doucet

    Oh, it's a bit too bad that you didn't score the 2nd coin, but at least you scored the version with the super sweet desert patina (congrats)
