<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 2073723, member: 21445&quot;]I&#039;d accept it into my collection. Im honestly not that picky when it comes to such issues. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have posted both before but the top Valerian II has issues, being struck with worn dies but has excellent silver and weight &amp; was $24 total.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second Valerian ii/spes has surface issues, lower grade silver, no eye on the portrait but a scarcer reverse and was $55.</p><p><br /></p><p>I no longer own the Spes since I got the $24 one, and I dont regret it. The portrait bothered me over time even though I liked it being scarcer &amp; so far I have dont mind the worn dies on the $24 one even though its more common.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fs24.postimg.org%2Faho6ktlad%2Fvalii.jpg&amp;hash=ac332482048385e0b820677c9ef7f8f5" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Valerian II (256 - 258 A.D.)</p><p>AR Antoninianus</p><p>O: VALERIANVS CAES, Radiate and draped bust right.</p><p>R: IOVI CRESCENNI, Infant Jupiter seated facing on goat (Amalthea) standing right,his right hand raised.</p><p>Colonia Agrippinensis (Cologne) mint</p><p>4.6g</p><p>23mm</p><p>RIC 3 RSC 26</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi50.tinypic.com%2F34nmtls.jpg&amp;hash=12845b357fe95a43799d0afaa12129d6" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Valerian II (256 - 258 A.D.)</p><p>AR Antoninianus</p><p>O: .
