TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 01:13 am You know how I have said, "I need to get one of those!", every time one of you guy's posts a Gallienus zoo coin? Well today I got a suprise at the local coin show. I was not expecting much but a V-coins dealer was there! Tons to look at and he had about six Gellienus zoo coins. I choose the two below! Now I have two Zoo coins! Note that green on #1 is encrustation not bronze disease. The dealer lists the coin as a Antoninianus SR10177, Rome Mint. This coin is pretty much toned as the photos show. You can see the silver that reamains. Check out that Centaur! I purchased coin #2 for the reverse. I have wanted a pegasus for a while now. I could not leave this one behind! The dealer lists this one as Antoninianus RIC 283. Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 08:54 am Nice coins and a nice start to a Gallienus Zoo collection. Centaur coins can get very expensive. Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 12:43 pm I'm glad you have a zoo series going. Your Pegasus coin has an unusually deep strike on the reverse image and the AVG but I wonder what happened to the rest of the legend? Filled die perhaps? Report this Post to the Staff
