<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 4272542, member: 77226&quot;]I bought this coin thinking of this thread. Earlier the question arose about what the &quot;P&quot; and &quot;V&quot; field marks mean on the reverse of PAX AVG coins from Postumous and Victorinus. While I have nothing to add to solve the question... I do have here a Gallienus PAX AVG with a reverse field mark of &quot;V&quot; from during the time of Postumous&#039; reign in the Gallic empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>This implies that the &quot;P&quot; or &quot;V&quot; do not correspond to Postumous or Victorinus, especially since there was no overlap between Gallienus and Victorinus, where dies may have been captured and used. So... I&#039;m not sure what the field marks mean and have not done the research yet to learn more... but will follow up if I learn anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the inexpensive beauties part... this coin cost me $5.75 before a few dollars shipping. How cool is this hobby...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1087670[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my Victorinus:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1087681[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Neither are really beauties... but both were inexpensive![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
