Message:: [QUOTE="kountryken, post: 25809925, member: 89798"]Brutus Silver Denarius. Obverse head of Liberty right. Reverse Brutus and companions advancing left. Brutus is third in line. This coin should have LIBERTAS behind head of Liberty (worn off on my coin), and BRVTVS in Exergue (partial on my coin). This coin is listed as Rare (that's why mine is so worn. A better one is out of my budget, lol). It's difficult to research without knowing a lot about Brutus (which I don't, but found someone that did). As I'm sure most of you know, during this time period, wealthy people were able to mint their on coinage. So, this coin was minted by Brutus when he was a moneyer (it's listed as 54 B.C.).The reason it's difficult to find is because Brutus was adopted by the Junia Family, and the coin was minted through their name. It's listed as Junia 31. Then B.M.C. 3861, Syd 906, Craw. 433/1 (that's what I was told, I don't know what that all means, other than a means to find a listed coin?)[ATTACH=full]1646529[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1646530[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
