pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/11/2013 1:10 pm I thought I had asked such a simple question, no idea it was so controversial! I must say that I like the connection with Liber, I find it very convincing. But I so want to be convinced:) Report this Post to the Staff

This Thread allows us to share information, easily, and to reevaluate what seems to have been accepted knowledge before. Looking at that example of Sear 2978 (1988 ed. = RIC V, part I 230) there are actually at least three lines going vertically down the back of the "panther". http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear...tml#RIC_0230 Stripes, Big Cat, um, that is a Tiger.

ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 08/23/2014 10:33 pm I'm resurrecting this thread because I stumbled upon a surprisingly good Gallienus at the WFOM. I wasn't specifically looking for one but towards the end of the show started digging through dealers' boxes, looking for random interesting coins or good deals which were in their junk boxes or otherwise not deemed worthy of display. Like so many of his coins, the flan is terrible and the obverse die and strike poor. But the reverse! It's the best panther I've seen... Except it clearly is not a panther, it's a tigress. I don't think those vertical bumps can be considered ribs. And it's definitely female :) Edited by ThisIsFun 08/23/2014 10:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/24/2014 06:37 am That is a superb example Tif, those stripes clearly visible and up on the shoulder too. You did well, Gallienus' coins are so hard to come by in good condition. Report this Post to the Staff
