[QUOTE="Marc Aceton, post: 2006862, member: 72101"]Prices for better Augustus denarii are nowadays skyrocketing whereas nice bronzes seem to - cautiously speaking - scarcely make any headway even though they are not only considerably larger, but also more difficult to find in a good shape. For instance, this very nice Augustus dupondius fetched yesterday only 1'050 EUR, which is of course a respectable amount of money but still far from what you have to pay for a splendid Augustus denarius. If this bronze could be suspected of having been tampered, I would have some understanding but this item is visibly a honest bronze. This becomes very clear when looking at another picture of the identical coin released in the catalog of a previous sale where futile attempts were made to sell it.
