Didn't see your title, and I was about to guess Allectus.

It is Gallienus - Legend says ...ALLIEN..., the bust is of Gallienus. But the double strike it very nice. Reverse is probably a Doe (is that one DIANA CONS?).

I'm giving up. If anyone wants me, they can find me in US Colonials.

Dont give up so quick Phil...perhaps you just need a nice uncleaned lot  After all, I had no idea what I was doing not that long ago. Uncleaned coins are the best tool. |

I agree Gallienus, this one has a neat double struck obverse.

He was my second choice. Oh well, I was hoping Allectus.
I love the DS :-)

It has some soil on it. Would a distilled water soak be best?

Neat coin v!  Phil, its good to see you visiting the ancients section. You should get an un-cleaned lot. Ancients rock!  |

Yes, DW is your best bet, with a lot of patience and brushing. It should look nice with careful cleaning. I love the double strike.
