<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2000992, member: 42773&quot;]I would say, &quot;Nice coins everyone,&quot; but they&#039;re not really that nice - they&#039;re ants of Gallienus. One doesn&#039;t collect these for their eye-appeal. I found this one earlier in the year, with the legend TR P XVI COS VII, making it the last issue in the dated series of Gallienus ants. With a strong strike and clean surfaces showing no wear, this coin easily qualifies as a &quot;best of type&quot; specimen, which says something pretty sad about the state of quality control during this period of Roman minting.</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Gallienus, 253-268 </b></p><p>AE Antoninianus, Rome mint, 268 AD</p><p>Obv.: GALLIENVS AVG; Radiate bust right</p><p>Rev.: P M TR P XVI COS VII; Emperor standing left, holding globe and sceptre</p><p>Reference: RIC V(a) Gallienus Sole Rule 156 (p. 144)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]358592[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
