<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2257054, member: 19463"]The problem I see with Gallienus coins is that the nice and the ugly coins are not evenly divided between the types, the mints or the periods. Most Asian mint late coins are nicely round (but often not having very good portrait art); the zoo coins tend to be ragged edged and not perfectly struck. It is not hard to find a nice random Gallienus but it would be really hard to assemble a 'complete' set of nice looking examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
