I bid $1300 and its now at $1320. These go for around $2300 to $2700 all the time. 5 hours to go on the auction end. I started a thread on this and a member helped me find it on the NGC. Looks all good. This company is local to me but they will ship. https://barberauctions.hibid.com/lot/190206622/roman-brutus-av-stater-42-44-bc-gold-coin-ngc-bu
Obviously this sale's expert is not a specialist 1 ) this coin does not look "uncirculated", judging from the pics 2 ) it is not Roman, it is not "Brutus (44-42 BC)" It is a Geto-Dacian gold coin imitating a Roman denarius type. If the exergue was legible, you'd find KOΣΩΝ ... cf. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1055101
I ask for interest... Is this really a (old?) original NGC Capsule? I never see this style. Never see the ancient grade "Brilliant Uncirculated" at a NGC Box description. And like GinoLR says - I can't believe NGC set the Title description to "Roman-Brutus". In first time it was an uncertain "Geto-Dacian-Thrace" mint .... Brutus was possible, but more a wish for us seller for a interesting offer.
The price it went for is a good price for a collector, not for a reseller. The only reason I bid on it was if there was meat on the bone, I could flip it and buy a Roman coin I want.
If it's ok to say something as a dealer - in my opinion, the price was ok. Better condition examples are around 1.800-2.000 Euro, extremely good examples more around 2.500 Euro. About 3-4 weeks ago there was a worse specimen than this one at an auction I was also interested in - this coin sold for 1,300 USD (hammer price, without fees!). Hence my frank opinion - the price reflects the current prices in the sale and is perfectly fine.
