<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2189275, member: 19463"]Nice coin but you hit on the question. I am not a Postumus specialist but I do have about 20 of his ants. I do not have this one so I might buy it if I found one cheap but it is not on my 'list' for him. The types that float my boat are not just rare but offer some feature of interest of difference. Providentia is a very common type - just not for Postumus. The coins I'd like are MINER FAVTR, INTERNVTIVS, COL CL AGRIP COS IIII --- strange stuff. Postumus has common types that are a bit unusual like HERC DEVSONIENSI and SERAPI COMITI AVG which I have and would not trade for a rare but uninteresting 'to me' type. Sure the Postumus specialist will want them all. I may even get them all by some accident but when it comes to paying extra for what I consider a low 'carity' rarity.... not gonna happen. Most I buy are just pretty. Wasn't he handsome? Aren't I shallow?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]425143[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425145[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425146[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]425147[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
