Misattributed as a Valerian I managed to scoop it for just over $30
As you may know .......
Larger sized coins of Gallienus are not easy to find in any "reasonable" condition

Nice use of superior knowledge to cherry pick this coin @FR. I really like the remaining detail on Nike.

Lovely coin and you have an excellent eye. The details look quite sharp. Very impressive piece.

In all honesty I had no clue
But it sure didn't look much like Valerian to me !
It might have been one of the other young "tyrants"
But I removed some of the 'dirt' and enough of the legend became visible
