Another Gallienus

Here is another Gallienus I acquired. Looked to be a scarcer reverse and its currently pending wildwinds publishing. The coin is very dark in hand. Tried to get better pics but this will do.

Reverse details are very nice, especially in hand.

That's a fantastic coin I'd love to have, Mat. Congrats!

 

That's definitely nice for Gallienus. Might be a truckload of deplorable Gallienus coins to this one. lol

 

Ditto what Gil said. Very nice for Gallienus, especially that reverse.

 

Whoa, nice! Not too many of those around. I've only seen the type in RIC, I've never seen one for sale.

 

Ditto what EVERYONE HAS SAID...

Terrific coin Gil !!!!!

 

That would be Mat.

 

But Gil would like it I'm sure

 

lol. You bet I would like it.

 

Oops, I'm trying unsuccessfully to 'multi-task' again LOL

Sorry Mat

 

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

 

oh yeah very nice, good bust and pietas looks pretty sweet.

 

Very different bust of old Gallienus Mat, good lookin' coin.

 

I think this Gallienus has Serapis on the reverse.

 

An interesting looking portrait. Cool addition Mat!

 

Wow, Mat => that coin has super coin eye-appeal!! (it is gorgeous, my friend!!) ... yummy-yummy!!

 

Looks like he could be stopping traffic

 

I've only seen a few examples of this type, and none as nice as yours Charles. Nice find!
