Casually documenting a collection. Where nothing's for sale). Tuesday, July 03, 2007. Last week I completed another pass through the collection, looking for unposted provincials. Contemplating how few unposted still remain to find and the ever-decreasing value of new posts, I'm going to stop regular posting.

IMP GALLIENVS AVG, Radiate cuirassed bust right / VICTORIA GERMAN, Victory handing wreath to emperor who holds spear and globe. Star above.
