Very nearly had it. It's RIC 537 Trier. The mintmark is T are dot S. But he is actually rosette diademed on my coin. 538 is laureate. But you still did very good jessvc1!

thanks that was fun. I finally have a few books to read on my coins and just trying to use those more then the internet. I guess I have to get used to them and stop confusing myself. I couldnt make out that mint mark, had it zoomed in but still couldnt make out the second letter.

Oh no problem  I love trying to find out the attributions for new aquisitions. I myself primarily use two references, Wildwinds and Helveticas (that's how I found out the last coin). Don't know if you noticed that I hadn't said anything about the Gallienus yet. You said 230 (which is Rome) while I had 574 (Siscia). I had no way to tell thatit was Siscia justby looking at it; I only went with it because that was what the seller had for it. Since you said RIC 230, were there any identifying features/marks that told you it was Rome? |

Great coins! I like the panther! I am starting to think a few zoo animals may be nice for my set! Also. Nice detail on the constantine I!
