<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4965255, member: 110350"]I guess the fact that nobody has posted another coin from the Gallienus legionary series -- compared to the many people who've posted coins from the zoo series -- just goes to confirm that the legionary series is much scarcer. Anyone curious about how much more expensive it is to obtain examples in decent condition can look on VCoins. (I bought mine from someone in the Facebook group for Ancient and Medieval coin sales.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the small green spots on the reverse of the Gallienus lion coin from Antioch look like signs of bronze disease? Even if they don't -- and nothing happened when I gently probed the spots with a plastic toothpick, using a magnifying glass -- am I right that soaking the coin in distilled water for 24 hours to see what happens wouldn't do any harm? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
