[QUOTE="Steppenfool, post: 7594669, member: 120870"]I recently decided I was going to get a Valerian coin to fill the gap in my (key) third century crisis emperors collection. To my shock, any within my price range were very ugly. Contributing to this feeling is my general dislike of the portrait style of Valerian and his sons. With that said there are some beauties in this thread! Particularly the example posted by [USER=90248]@Spaniard[/USER]. It gets Valerian's features in without becoming too uncanny, a hard balancing act! On the contrary to Valerian, I have coins of Philip and Decius that are beautiful and were very affordable.[/QUOTE]
