After I cancelled the suspicious purchase of Caesar, I made a bid on this one of a well known seller. Okay, its not such a nice coin but I won it for only 50 euro's incl shipping, which I think is a good price for a julius caesar. Perhaps its just a temporary purchase till I find a nicer, affordable and trustworthy Julius Caesar denarius, you'll never know!   Edited by Dutchgulden
