Greek coin
« on: February 25, 2008, 09:07:39 pm »
Hi all,

   Ive purchased this coin on a popular auction site and was wondering if anyone could help me as to attribution and authenticity. These are the pics the seller had up, and all i have to work with.

Thanks everyone!

Not Greek, but Roman Republican.

The moneyer was one of Caesar's assassins, Decimus Brutus (not the famous Brutus though).

Unwise to buy a coin from that sort of image though, it could easily be a fake and nobody could tell.
