<p>[QUOTE="TJC, post: 4722435, member: 45502"]Here is a purchase from last year. This is common coin but most often not in great condition as most Gallienus era coins. I have not been as involved in my numismatic pursuits the last couple of years, but have kept my eye out for 3rd century / Gallienus coins as it is an era and emperor that I have not lost interest in. On this coin Gallienus has a strong strike and a bit of Homer Simpson upper lip. The mostly silvered reverse gives Mars a fairly strong showing despite the edge damage on the upper right and good full legend. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1157115[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1157116[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Gallienus Silvered Billon Antoninianus.
