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.

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. ;)

Opposite of yours: good reverse, not as good obverse. I like how it still has all its silver.

but isn't yours a silver or billon antoninianus versus a coin that is only silvered.

It probably is. I am not an expert nor serious collector of the coinage of this era.
