Because more people know who Julius Caesar was than any other ruler?
Is this perhaps a seller of toned Canadian coins?
Wow, it's 73% off... it must be a bargain! ;)
Since you're posting in the US coins forum, I'll say these: A current-ish Red Book, for (very) general information. Ignore the price section...
Seller's pics, but if it's half as good looking as this, I'll be thrilled: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
He doesn't explicitly put his initials on most of his overstrikes, but he does give die markers for them. I guess that's sort of a signature.
Hate to tell you, but your Trade Dollar is a fake. :P
I don't know. It looks like a nice RB to me.

It's actually pretty easy to figure that out. Estimate how many graders they have on staff (G), look up how many coins they've graded (C),...
