<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 8146294, member: 110350"]I think you will find that most of those Gallienus capricorns -- I just counted 67 of the 75 most recently sold, on the first page of the ACSearch results -- are from the legionary series (with the LEG number on the reverse instead of NEPTVNO), not the zoo series. Only 8 are from the zoo series. By contrast, a search for Gallienus hippocamp yields 104 results (not 2), all of them, I believe, from the zoo series. That's consistent with the fact that I seem to see the hippocamps for sale more often than the capricorns from the zoo series. And with the fact that many so-called capricorns of the Gallienus zoo series for sale are actually hippocamps. For example, there are six so-called Gallienus capricorns for sale on MA-Shops. Every single one of the six is clearly a hippocamp. I haven't checked V-Coins, but I suspect that the same problem occurs there as well. And/or the problem of supposed zoo series capricorns actually being legionary series capricorns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
