Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 06:09 am Another steal at $13 total cost. Too bad it looks like the reverse die was quite worn but a nice portrait and centered strike. Again, shamefully will flip this after studying, fondling and photographing.

MichaelS Valued Member Netherlands 59 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 12:27 pm Beautiful coin from my favourite Roman leader. Rumour goes that he was a Batavian, and thus from the territories now in the Netherlands. I find this special as this is one of our nations very few claims to fame in regards to the ancient world. I've been looking for a cheap Postumus coin for a while now - you're lucky you snatched it up! It looks to be worth a lot more. Please fondle it for me, too. ;) Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 1:10 pm Opposite of yours: good reverse, not as good obverse. I like how it still has all its silver. Edited by VisigothKing 09/27/2014 1:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 1:21 pm It probably is. I am not an expert nor serious collector of the coinage of this era. Report this Post to the Staff
