<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 8178434, member: 77226&quot;]Awhile back (November) I asked if anyone would buy this group of coins for $15 ($9.99 with $2.00 shipping or so and some sales tax) and mentioned that I had two of them soaking in distilled water and would show the results later. Well now is later.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429541[/ATTACH]</p><p>Anyway, they aren&#039;t perfect or high-value coins but out of the distilled water bath and as clean as they&#039;ll get with a soak and scrub. For $15 I think I made a good buy... if you like coins made in this low-quality period. ...How about you?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429542[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Gallienus</b></p><p>Obverse: GALLIENVS P F AVG, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Reverse: VIRT GALLIENI AVG (the courage of Emperor Gallienus), emperor advancing left, spear in right hand, shield in left, treading with left foot on reclining captive who is raising his right arm</p><p>Struck in Cologne AD 257/9</p><p>Scarce</p><p>Göbl MIR 890h, RIC V-1 J54 (Cologne), RSC IV 1206, Elmer 82, SRCV III 10400</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429543[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Salonina </b></p><p>Obverse: SALONINA AVG, draped bust right, wearing stephane, hair in ridges and in plait looped below ear up the back of head, crescent behind shoulders</p><p>Reverse: VENVS FELIX (Venus who brings good fortune), Venus seated left, extending right hand reaching for child (or Cupid) standing at her feet with arms raised to her, transverse scepter in left hand</p><p>Struck in Cologne AD 257/9</p><p>Göbl MIR 898c, RIC V-1 J7 (Lugdunum), RSC IV 115 (Lugdunum), Hunter IV J24, Eauze 1513, Cunetio 733 (20 spec.), Elmer 60, SRCV III 10655</p><p><br /></p><p>The other two... are in the junk tray for now, to be revisited some dark and stormy night when I have nothing else to do as they&#039;re rough and common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
