sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 6:56 pm The billon antoninianii of Gallienus in close to 'as struck' condition (in terms of wear), are surprisingly easy to find. The next step with these is to find one with complete and well struck legends. If one point for each factor, this coin is 2 1/2 points. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 7:21 pm A lot of Gallienus coins are rough and of poor manufacture as well. According to aorta, you can find deplorable coins by the cart full. I have one with a rare Saturn reverse. Yours is a nice Virtus though. I like it. Gallienus Billon Antoninianus. Mint of Asia. GALLIENVS AVG, radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right / AETERNITAS AVG, Saturn standing right holding scythe, PXV (short for TR P XV) in ex. Cohen 44. RIC V-1 (S) 606. Report this Post to the Staff
