<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2922813, member: 76194&quot;]I know I said I wouldn&#039;t buy any more coins this year (where have we heard that before?) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; But I felt bad not helping Stevex6 out, and wanted to give one of his coins a home here in south Florida. The thing is, Stevex6 collected a lot of amazing coins, but most are probably not a good fit for my collection (setting aside the price). He had a lot of coins for sale though, and I had a feeling deep in the vaults of the Stevex6 collection I&#039;d find a coin that would fit my current collecting focus well, the Crisis of the Third Century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, it don&#039;t get better than this. A Roman Empress from the middle of the crisis years, married to one of the&nbsp; longest reigning emperors of this turbulent era, Gallienus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here then is a purchase that not only helps Steve, but also makes a lot of sense for my collection. These days I&#039;m not really adding much outside this area of interest, as well...other ancient coins are just not as interesting as Roman coinage from the mid-3rd Century crisis years.
