[QUOTE="singig, post: 4967814, member: 93672"]I have been looking for a year to buy a decent(grade and price) sestertius of Gallienus , but I wasn't very lucky.... till last month when I managed to find not one but even two. One of the sestertii is a common type VIRTVS AVGG , but in exchange the other SALVS AVGG is extremely rare, I was able to find only one example on internet, sold by CNG in 2019 , and there should be a second one at Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien(the only one specimen noted by MIR Göbl). I already checked all the Gallienus coins from their ''digital museum'' but I can't find it. The type is not listed in RIC or gallienus.net(website no longer available online :( ) This is the one sold by CNG , I used their description to label my coin : [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5840780[/URL] Does someone has access to a copy of Moneta Imperii Romani 36,43,44 Robert Göbl ? if possible , can you please check if the Gallienus type 29bb has a specimen with photo attached ?
