<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TJC, post: 2653735, member: 45502&quot;]As far as coins go the last few weeks have been great!&nbsp; First I score a Quietus and then I win a new Gallienus / Lion that is knocking my socks off!&nbsp; It is an upgrade to type I have already (see below) and i like it, but the new one has much better detail and higher relief, especially the reverse.&nbsp; And speaking of the reverse...wait till you see this Kitty kicking around a bulls skull...its...well...I&#039;m a fan!&nbsp; Thats all I&#039;m sayin! </p><p>Even the bull is smiling<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, its in an NGC holder at AU. I purchased the coin not the holder.&nbsp; I do plan to take it out but will be leaving it in now.&nbsp; I want to pass it around at the local coin club and like the security of the plastic against falls. I think the pics turned out well through the plastic which can be a challenge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Share what you like and that think is related<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Gallienus Silvered Antoninianus</p><p>Antioch Mint 265 AD</p><p>Obverse: GALLIENVS AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust left.</p><p>Reverse: P M TR P XIII, lion standing left, bucranium (cow skull) between front legs</p><p>C VI P P and palm branch in exergue</p><p>References: RIC 602, Göbl 1622d; RSC 843 Scarce.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is #1 that has been in my collection:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]587464[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]587466[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And #2. the new score!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]587483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]587484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]587485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]587486[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
