    Still working on the proceeds from the show last Friday:
    This Quintillus has more retained silvering than most but a dig ruining the top of the reverse figure shows red below so it is not a solid billon coin. The reverse legend is missing the letters needed to show the improper spelling LIBERITAS AVG listed for this type from Siscia. Faults considered, it still is not bad for Quintillus whose coins tend to be pretty rugged.

    I may as well show my other two from this inconsequential ruler. The three are different reverses but I am not trying to specialize in Quintillus.

    No silvering on mine... But he does have a GLOW-WORM in his hair...

    Wonder what caused the dig?

    My only one, some silvering in spots in-hand.

    The silvering makes this look scruffy, but I like the reverse.

    Impressive posts guys, considering the typical poor quality of coins depicting Quintillus.

    My only example in the formerly slabbed old Heritage sellers photo:

    I am too embarrassed to show you my Quintillus. It is so hard to find a nice one, and I'm always on the lookout for an upgrade.

    I think these are all Quintillius, but low grades are sometimes difficult to tell apart from late Gallienus and Claudius gothicus
