<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 88274, member: 4367&quot;]Well Caesar, I&#039;d stay away from Brutus, especially if he has daggers.&nbsp; The coin it&#039;self gives me a few worries.&nbsp; The first one appears to be the texture of the metal.&nbsp; The daggers and the bust are worn to VG/Fine condition, but they&#039;re unusual (bubbles) marks which are very high and sharp.&nbsp; From what I don&#039;t know...&nbsp; Second, there appears to be a bit of metal failure on the forehead of poor Brutus revealing a (2nd metal) underneath.&nbsp; Third, the lettering does not appear to be Latin or even very Romanesque.&nbsp; Forth, it looks cast with molten metal, refer back to first worry.&nbsp; Coins from this era are struck.&nbsp; Fifth, the seller has no feedback with which to judge his history and the buyer has no feedback as well, a oft used ploy in other auctions which the seller and a bidder know each other and the bidder drives the auction up by repeating small (incremental) bids with no intention to buy, which keep honest bidders increasing their bids.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, I wouldn&#039;t bid on this coin and I have a quite a few ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bone[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
