Antoninianus of Gallienus with Centaur Reverse

This portrait of Gallienus is still quite decent despite the heavy green patination on this coin. Pieces like this abound at coin shows and are a bargain at four to eight dollars each from dealers' "junk boxes". By spending time reading books, browsing on - line, and studying the actual coins at shows, neophyte collectors will be able before long to recognize this as a portrait of Gallienus regardless of the legibility of the inscription.
