Featured A Brutus a day, keeps the tyrant away

That is a great coin! Not that famous, but ironically he was one of Caesar's closest friends actually. It was also this Btutus that persuaded Caesar to meet with the Senate on that fatefull day, and travel to the East yet. Decimus Brutus was the second in line in the will of Caesar, after Octavian.

Thats a nice group indeed! And if you need to get rid of that brutus, give me a call ;-)

Not Brutus, but his buddy Cassius here.

Those saying that it’s the coins you don’t buy that you regret, are right. I’ve been beating myself up for 12 years over not purchasing a beautiful Brutus with the lictor reverse at what I later understood was a bargain price that I was too cheap to pay at the time. Now my problem is that every time I see that coin for sale, I keep remembering the price I could have gotten it for, which, irrationally, keeps me from bidding on other samples. It was very foolish, not to buy that coin at a floor auction in Oslo in 2008.
Luckily I learned from it, and bought this coin from the same house a year later.

 

Some great coins in this thread. Here’s one of mine.
