Brutus coin

Not that I'm saying it's a fake, but, no, I wouldn't buy it. After Caesar's assassination, Cassius fled to Syria and Brutus to Greece and Macedonia. They both had coins struck, commemorating Caesar's death and, I almost forgot, themselves. Allegedly the most famous Brutus coin is, as follows. Obverse: Head of Brutus right, bearded; around, BRVT.IMP; around, L.PLAET.CEST. Border of dots. Reverse: Pileus between two daggers; below, EID.MAR. Border of dots. I ordered one for £3.- GBP, no charge for delivery. It arrived a few weeks later in an envelope with Chinese markings. I'm quite proud of it. Are you saying it's a replica, and has no value at all ? How very, very dare you be so insulting !?

Where has it gone to ? I wrote a piece about Brutus, including my replica Brutus coin, a few hours ago. Disappeared !!!

Your lists about "fakes" are much appreciated, Okidoki. Although such lists need to be used with caution, they are useful in pointing out dealers who are either unscrupulous, or who may be incapable of discerning what is genuine or what is fake. Others, still may make, very rare, ill-founded judgments. - I intend to print out copy of the list, but also bearing in mind that parts may already be out of date !

 

the list is updated every day.

The "fakes-list" updated daily ? Absolutely brilliant ! Nothing, perhaps, is completely 100 %, there is always room for human error. However, it would give useful general guidelines. Thanks, Okidoki, that is really okidoki !!!
