<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2142737, member: 19463&quot;]There is a great tragedy in the coins of Gallienus.&nbsp; The best ones are the zoo series but they tend to be poor metal, poorly struck and raggedy if not just plain ugly.&nbsp; There are other mints and years with nice coins that might be described as boring.&nbsp; Finding the one in a thousand high grade, full legend zoo coin will take some effort.&nbsp;&nbsp; These two are my best but they are far from perfect.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]410261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]410262[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This lion is not part of the zoo.&nbsp; Zoo coins will have a legend dedicating to a god (Apollo, Diana etc.) but my lion is dated and from an eastern mint.&nbsp; It is unlikely you will find a real zoo issue on that kind of flan. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]410263[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
