My first Postumus

Nice coins, everybody. I have a few Postumus antoninianii. This is an ugly one I felt sorry for on eBay - it was a One Cent auction and I was the only bidder. It is a later one, made out of base metal, common, with a mushy reverse, but I really liked the portrait, and for one cent, I liked the price too (not including shipping, of course).
