Here is a Maximinus I got sometime ago. I got it mainly for the cheap price. It's also a bit rare, which made it more attractive to me. Maximinus I (235 - 238 A.D.) Billon Tetradrachm O: AVTO MAΞIMINOC EVC CEB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right . R: Nike walking left, wearing long chiton, carrying wreath and palm; LΓ in left field.

Congrats on the score, Mat. That's one sweet-looking tet. A nice one of Maximinus like yours is on my list. I too have to admit to sometimes buying a coin largely because it was too cheap to ignore. Here's a recent arrival of a coin of a ruler I never expected to own. It's a little rough, but the price was right. GORDIAN I Potin Tetradrachm. 11.87g, 22.9mm. EGYPT, Alexandria, RY 1 (AD 238). Emmett 3340; Dattari 12387. O: A K M AN ΓOPΔIANOC CЄM AΦP ЄVCЄB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right. R: Athena standing facing, head left, holding spear and Nike, one hand resting on shield.
