<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1667629, member: 19463"]Ripley's post illustrates what is unfortunately the most interesting part of Galerius' coinage and one that absolutely must be addressed by any book o the subject. "A pair of Max's" is one pre reform Maximianus and one post reform Galerius. Between pre/post and Max/Gal (not to mention Maximinus II and Maxentius) the coinage provides a hurdle which trips up new collectors and dealers who should know better alike. There are some pretty nice variations on the obverse portraits (mostly helmeted) that sell well over my ceiling but I agree in general that Galerius is not a major candidate for becoming my next specialty. The most many of us get out of him is the satisfaction of being able correctly to identify the coins and a hope that we will exit this life in an easier manner than did he.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
