<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2050169, member: 19463&quot;]These are the coins I consider appealing for the amount of enjoyment they bring for each dollar spent.&nbsp; Much of my collection is in the category.&nbsp; The Hercules is a top example.&nbsp; Also notice the officina letter.&nbsp; Is it a retrograde S or a curvy Z?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Tetricus II is much harder to find full legend and well struck than his father.&nbsp; Is that because most of his coins were from late in the reign or because the guys at the mint did not worry about what the kid thought of them?</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently posted a Philip II variation with request for help (got none).&nbsp; Mine was totally missing the name (you have PHIL).&nbsp; My castle was flat and flanked by different letters.&nbsp; Do you understand (or have a reference) the letters (C and A with dots)?&nbsp;&nbsp; I understand the Spanish copper issues so poorly, I can&#039;t even think about the countermarked ones.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I propose for president of the Gallienus Panther Club, John Quincy Adams.&nbsp; He was once owner of this one but it is mine now.&nbsp; It is also the ugliest coin I have seen from his collection and one of the worst examples of the panther I&#039;ve seen posted here on CT.&nbsp; Perhaps it was not as easy or not as important to have mint state examples in his day.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]376375[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
