I have an ancient Roman coin of THIS GUY, the emperor Postamus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postumus

He wasn’t a Roman emperor. He was a Roman commander who was proclaimed
Emperor by his own troops , of Gaul, and most of Western Europe.
In 269 AD, he lost control of his troops, and they killed him.
My coin didn’t cost anywhere near $5600. I paid $40 for it. I don’t know what metal it is, but it’s not gold or silver. It was the only ancient coin at the coin show that I could afford, lol.

Thanks, I’ll get right on that. :^) There’s a way to invest in them through ETFs, but collectibles are fickle as investments.
