<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2491417, member: 57495&quot;]I&#039;ve always liked the fact that you can score a decent Postumus antoninianus for all of $20 and a very nice one for about $40.&nbsp; Most are common, but many are reasonably well-struck and centered for the period... it&#039;s already been mentioned how handsome the man was, but I suppose that bears repeating <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Postumus, unlike the other Gallic emperors, has many rare and more interesting types we don&#039;t often get to see, but I like that he cared enough about his coins to at least have them. I wouldn&#039;t be able to afford the $2000-$4000 it would cost to acquire those rarities, but the demand for them is there. I wonder how many here know that [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]&#039;s rare variety of the common Providentia reverse would fetch closer to $400 than $40.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My common but decent Saeculi Felicitas.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]527346[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Scarcer and interesting early issue with a horned Rhine river god reverse, but still probably only a $20 coin, if that.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]527347[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
