<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3829700, member: 57495&quot;]Nice one, and definitely an upgrade.&nbsp; Postumus is a fun ruler to collect... interesting history, many different reverse types, and often affordable.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s one I picked up from an FSR auction two years ago...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/postumus-moneta-1929-jpg.673099/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><b>POSTUMUS</b></p><p>Billon Antoninianus. 3.16g, 21.9mm. Trier mint, 3rd emission, 1st phase, AD 263-265. RIC V 75; Mairat 65-9. O: IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right. R: MONETA AVG, Moneta standing left, holding scales and cornucopia.</p><p><br /></p><p>And here&#039;s another from one of Frank&#039;s famous fixed price &quot;bargain&quot; lists.&nbsp; At $19.50 was it really a bargain?&nbsp; Hmmm... I&#039;m not sure, but sestertii of Postumus are significantly less common than his ants and even his double sestertii, so upgrading to a better one will likely cost more than I&#039;m happy to pay. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1018250[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>POSTUMUS</b></p><p>AE Sestertius. 16.67g, 29mm.
