It is very difficult to acquire these military crisis emperors&#039; bronzes in a really satisfying shape. Although many of them are free from circulation traces, virtual all leave to be desired from point of manufacturing.</p><p><br /></p><p>My friend is possessing this wonderful Gallienus sestertius, which I would regard as perfect.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.numismatikforum.de/download/file.php?id=78612&amp;mode=view" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
