    Nice coins & OP
    I haven't bought a new Postumus in a long time. Here is 2 of my 3, they have a nice silvering mixed look to them.

    Nice coins everyone. My only Postumus is pretty piss poor but for about 2 bucks I can't complain.

    I love the Gallic Empire, to me it is one of the most interesting periods in Roman history and it is full of mystery, there is so much we don't know (and never will).
