<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2257106, member: 42773&quot;]I suppose it depends on what you consider a &quot;nice looking example.&quot; There&#039;s a certain rustic charm to the poorly manufactured coins. Sometimes you find wonderful style in the die cutting, despite the fact that the flans were inadequately prepared and struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my latest of Gallienus, a SECVRIT PERPET type. Gallienus is quite&nbsp; handsome here (if he could ever be called handsome), with his copious neck-beard, and Securitas is cut in elegant style. So the engravers made these lovely, artistic dies and handed them over to third graders to strike the coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>And yet there&#039;s a quirky charm to that. Perfect is boring - but that&#039;s not a problem Gallienus aficionados will ever have to deal with. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]447531[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP coin is one of the &quot;nicest&quot; of the trophy types I&#039;ve seen. A great find![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
