<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 8003008, member: 4298&quot;]Hi CT friends,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not been adding a lot of coins this year, but the last Jacquier auction had quite a bunch of Gallienus zoo series coins, with some rarities, and I thought I <i>should </i>get some. The gods of numismatics weren&#039;t on my side (or I was too shy at bidding) and I was only able to snap one of them. I have to say some prices were <i>waaaaay </i>over what I would have imagined they&#039;d fetch.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, even though we&#039;ve had <b><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gallienus-zoo-series.388656/#post-7997259" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gallienus-zoo-series.388656/#post-7997259">a recent thread about them</a></b> with some gems (don&#039;t forget the series is quite difficult if you target examples of good stike and preservation), we&#039;re can&#039;t never have too many of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following example is among the rare types in the series, with a radiate and draped left bust, rated R3 in Wolkow&#039;s guidebook. Sure it&#039;s known better days but guess what : a pristine example wouldn&#039;t be in my trays !!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1388358[/ATTACH]</p><p>Rome, AD 267-268.</p><p>GALLIENVS AVG.
