<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bradley Trotter, post: 4251963, member: 101226&quot;]To say the least, I cannot understate how enjoyable it is to collect ancient coins. I bought a pair of Roman antoniniani depicting Valerian I and Gallienus from the latter half of the 3rd century. Overall, both coins are quite indicative of the progressive decline in silver content that plagued the coinage of the period. Nonetheless, anyone should feel free to offer their insight as I remain new to this area of numismatics and history.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084717[/ATTACH] </p><p>Seller&#039;s pictures</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084715[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Gallienus</b></p><p><b>AR Antoninianus</b></p><p><b>260-268 AD</b></p><p><b>OBV: GALLIENVS AVG</b></p><p><b>REV: VIRTVS AVG</b></p><p><b>Diameter: 19.4 mm</b></p><p><b>Weight: 2.37 gr. </b></p><p><b>RIC 534</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084716[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Valerian I</b></p><p><b>AR Antoninianus</b></p><p><b>253-255 AD</b></p><p><b>OBV:</b> <b>IMP C P LIC VALERIANVS P F AVG</b></p><p><b>REV: FELICITAS AVGG</b></p><p><b>Diameter:21.3 mm</b></p><p><b>Weight: 3.71 gr. </b></p><p><b>RIC 87 </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
