[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2940133, member: 10461"]Congrats on your [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallienus']Gallienus![/URL] Yours has pretty decent silvering on it. Often these just look like bronze. The silver layer didn't always survive. Here is the one from my first collection. Like yours, it had [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetitia_(goddess)']Laetitia[/URL] on it. It cost me about $45 at the time, which I think was a pretty good deal considering how nice the details and bright the silvering was on it. It also had some nice gold/orange toning which you can't see in these images from a flatbed scanner. I'd say yours was a solid buy at five bucks! Kind of hard to go wrong there.
