<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2803980, member: 76181&quot;]Although I have owned it for a short period of time, it appears the Julius Caesar denarius is the only thing that has made non collectors, and will continue to make non collectors, say WOW. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a name EVERYONE recognizes. But it must be more than just name recognition because they care far less about Alexander the Great or Nero or Vikings.</p><p><br /></p><p>And they don&#039;t care about the condition. They expect to see a worn and beat up object.&nbsp; I could hand them a slug, and if I said it was minted by Caesar to pay his army......they would say WOW.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, when I hold it, I also say wow. Largely for it&#039;s historical importance. It certainly isn&#039;t a pretty coin compared to large Greek silver.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/julius-caesar-49-48bc.6832/full?d=1500342872" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>There was one notable exception. My wife. She did not say WOW. It sounded more like a sigh.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
