<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4082885, member: 110350&quot;]Thanks for the link, TIF.&nbsp; I spent more than an hour yesterday reading all 25 pages of that thread.&nbsp; A lot of fascinating coins, but I&#039;m glad I limited this thread to Republican coins, or there would be no end to it!&nbsp; Interesting that there were some posters who apparently didn&#039;t even realize that there&#039;s more to Republican coins than an endless series of bigas and quadrigas! </p><p><br /></p><p>I really do like the Philip I SAECVLARES AVGG animal reverses -- I have a nice example of the lion (RIC IV-3 12), and also his elephant reverse (RIC IV-3 58), which isn&#039;t actually part of that series.&nbsp; I&#039;ve often been tempted to buy some of the Gallienus zoo coins, but it&#039;s really hard to find examples that don&#039;t look terrrible.&nbsp; Interesting how much the coinage seems to have deteriorated in only 20 years or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
