A Golden coin from the Roman Golden age, spectacular!brbrAnd its a really interesting piece, as you mentioned, that shows us the famous philosopher emperor before he was emperor, without his famous beard However, he was already considered by many to display the qualities of a good emperor, with some sources citing "He was a young man, but displayed a serious and composed attitude that greatly dignified him"

Comment from : @rhettlee

Is that Wisdom of Marcus Aurelius book any good?
Comment from : @LukionSmith

Vintage coin are intetesring for historical value, so if price of gold fall whathever the reason, they could keep and continue to grow in value
Comment from : @yassma977

A reminiscence of the longest lasting empire, I wonder what will remain after Pax Americana…
Comment from : @martac7444

I have what people would say quit a few of bullion gold coins, but I would really like a Roman gold coin I just cannot justify buying one at this stage of my life, but if I was younger and have the money I have now I would buy one I applaud you for buying a coin you really wanted I think I know the feeling of having a coin that was in use during the times you speak of it makes your mind wonder Enjoy 2 is 1

Comment from : @xDooksx

YOU KNEW MARCUS AURELIUS ? I did not say I knew him I said he touched me on the shoulder once
Comment from : @vilhamdutch2962

This is so, so you! Congratulations on acquiring your piece of art history We know you are not selling this one!🍾🥂
Comment from : @Therese-1001

Just imagine who may have held on to that coin over the last 1800 years
Comment from : @MikeMarcangelo

That coin might be a good one to stay in a slab Tough call You can always get it graded againbrWay cool gold coin btw I'm considering Roman silver myself brIf you enjoy ancient civilizations look up the findings about geo-polimers

Comment from : @MichaelBuckley-wf2lh

Count me as one of the nut bars you’re going to tick off by breaking the coin out of the grading case 🤷‍♂️

Nice thoughtful presentation

Yesterday I bought a 2015 W High Relief Liberty Gold Coin, paid $ 282580 only 49,325 minted, did I pay too much? Probably did in todays climate, but I do own one of the 49,325 Always buy low mintage collectables if you have spare cash
Comment from : @tweetybird3597

Small price for a piece of history 🎉
Comment from : @h9hkk6155

I have a pretty large ancient collection Mostly Roman silver & gold, and a couple greek pieces Not for stacking, itss the "fun" stuff for me I don't get excited for Morgans or Peace dollars If I want historic pieces I'll go with ancients
Comment from : @moderndayennui4999

I have a Nero aureus One of my best coins by far
Comment from : @bunymustard2584

Should pare well with the campfire flavored spirits you sampled a some time ago See what just happened there? brbrIt doesn't matter how much fiat you traded for something you've been eyeing with that level of fervor over time Now that you've quelled that itch, the question is what's next--a 1934 FR $1000 Banknote? Wouldn't that be ironic? Cheers!
Comment from : @strykerentllc

Meditations is one of my favorite books
Comment from : @WildRiverCamping

I recently won a raffle of a $25 Gold Indian I had been looking for awhile Granted it’s not a valuable coin especially with the “cleaned” grade But $50 for it I was happy to get one at the price
Comment from : @DetectingBriar

When one has gorged on enough common bullion, one begins to look for the next hit, the next conquest So begins the brave, rich new world of numismatics
Comment from : @ejkalegal3145

Awesome work 👏If it adds to your enjoyment, it's well spent money Congrats 👏

A dream coin So amazing Marcus Aurelius is one of my few heroes
Comment from : @copperbones7336

WOW DUDE THAT'S A GORGEOUS RARE COIN😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
Comment from : @SupremeGGstacker

Not a mistake, if you like it
Comment from : @TerminalChill

Would love to see an episode about your Easton Press book collection, they look Great
Comment from : @cjdelavara

I bought a one ounce Scrooge McDuck gold coin from APMEX last year and love it! A Scrooge McDuck would look great next to your Marcus Aurelius On a different note, I cringed seeing that coin cracked out of the slab At some point you or your sons or whoever will eventually sell it Expensive numismatics need to be certified Busting that gold coin out leaves money on the table No guarantee you'll get that grade back
Comment from : @artboston4787

Fun video no negativity about current events love it
Comment from : @Nordy941

Wow man that one and the silver owl are really cool I have to give you props on that in my personal opinion that's more like prestige precious metals than it is just your everyday common precious metal of gold and silverbrYou know man we are funny creatures we will put value on something so tiny and small and never think that the price of it will ever go so high what we set it for And I'll honestly I think that's just an ego we settle for and I think if we do that it shows the flaw of our thinking in what we value I say this cuz I remember watching salivate metal video on the gold shell coins that was stolen from a museum that was worth so much money And now it's all gone probably in the hands of some private owner who is a criminal some kind or it's melted and now sold as bars on the black market I mention this because I think of Marcus Aurelius and all the ancestors in our past who probably think we are a bit crazy for spending so much for a little amount of gold I think it might be a sign of the times of our country coming to a financial end Honestly I think it's a prestige to have such precious metal as a luxury if whatever reason you get a lot more of those particular coins I hope you sell it to a museum and get your money's worth That being said I want to say thank you for your time and sharing with us this video it makes me think about precious metals in a way that might be more of a warning not to get too carried away but to be practical Well if you die you can always have it buried with you lol😏🪙⚰️🪦
Comment from : @josephalvarez6735

I can't afford the luxury, but having said that my first gold was a restrike Austrio-Hungatian 100 Corona dated 1915 The Austrian mint produces them using the original dies I was thinking it would be more in my price range to get reproductions of say the coins mentioned in the Bible
Comment from : @MrDavidknigge

That is a super cool pick up! Wow, just the age and history alone Enjoy and can't wait to see what you do with it : )
Comment from : @72cmcinc

I think if you have the money to play this game and enjoy it by all means do it Breaking it out my only concern would it being unprotected and could suffer dmg but you are the owner and you can do with it as you please, very nice coin though congrats on the score
Comment from : @caseymims2479

Anything that old in gold, is badass 😎

Comment from : @Buddhist_Gnome

Interesting coin and topic Regarding busting it out - Do you what you want, it's YOURS Worst comes to worst you can pay to have it reslabbed
Comment from : @michaelwatt7846

Bucket list win all the way! I bet you're ready to unslab it and hold that piece of history in your hand - congrats on the cool purchase and nice video topic
Comment from : @stephencollier6807

You made a right decision there You could have pissed it away on a Boat Far more 🚤for far less🚤
Comment from : @num1cheechwizard

Yeah break that sucker out👍
Comment from : @Lonepatriot69

Absolutely excellent! Looks amazing considering how many hands it’s passed through I love history in general but the golden age of the Roman Empire is particularly interesting I’m really happy for you! Classical Numismatics is a great channel! Cheers!
Comment from : @michaelmccoy2847

I have a feeling there will be far more love than hate for this around here
Comment from : @DIYivan04

Hate to say it, but Homer Simpson is way more popular than any Roman emperor!
Comment from : @weststephan5253

Hey! An aureus is an aureus is an aureus Kudos on finding what you wanted! Love it
Comment from : @EnriqueSamsonPhotographer

The ancient gold coins have value from so many different directions … on top of being some of the highest purity ever mintedbrAnd the creator is right … these coins are cool
Comment from : @phillipseifert694

Geat presentation! Congratulations! Amazing coin!
Comment from : @AK-lf6cq

Not a mistake People spend $5k on computers they know will be obsolete in a few years That coin has had value for a couple thousand years
Comment from : @ArrickthaRed

Beautiful coin! I have a collection of imperial Roman coinage, nothing like this though Fantastic piece
Comment from : @garrettwise7713

Yes please more on the topic!
Comment from : @dannyhalstead6524

Just the fact that you were so excited to get this coin tells me that it was not a mistake to buy it You will cherish this always brI can hear Marcus Aurelius all the way to here in West Virginia, crying out to be released from his imprisonment in the plastic slab…
Comment from : @burke9497

My "white whale" is the 1 oz Gold Queen's Beast completer coin Would of, could of, should of I'll get one eventually 💵💵💵 Buy what you like, there's no wrong answer if it make you happy When I do get that completer coin, I'll dedicate the video to you Good Sir!
Comment from : @MrBullay

That coin most likely appreciate more than bullion The slab greatly increases liquidity when selling
Comment from : @DJbabynoneck

that coin is awesome!brgreat buy regardless of metal contentbri've read a little marcus' quotes really interesting stuff
Comment from : @nathanr494

I don’t consider spot much when I’m buying the older stuff What gets me is imagining the story behind that piece that got it into my hands
Comment from : @zandersohn4283

Nice! 👀
Comment from : @Ulrna

Can’t wait for the break out video!
Comment from : @maxm3522

Can't wait to see the breakout of jail on this one Just how coins should be
Comment from : @dronetestdaegan

Like Pre-33 gold, this Roman era is so much cooler and rarer than typical bullionI say buy it smartly and enjoy it💪👍
Comment from : @igglybiggly6951

Congratulations on the purchase I have the husband and wife aurei of Antoninus Pius and Faustina the Elder Studying their history and what they stood for was and still is, fascinating Each piece is history and art and value in a super compact form that you can carry in your pocket Just remember not to drop it in a vending machine! 😊
Comment from : @belgiboing

Oh man, I'm a big fan of the stoics and Aurelius in particular I've read Meditations more than a few times and now I feel like I need one of thesewhich of course is making me feel like I learned nothing from reading Meditations 😕
Comment from : @grumpygus81

I would argue you aren't just paying for the age & rarity of the coin as much as the grade And I shudder to think about what the acid from your figures will do to the suface of the other metals in that coin
Comment from : @ComicCommando

Really beautiful coin ans piece of history
Comment from : @AnxiousStacker

You’re ahead of all of us related to “art pieces “ in coinage
Comment from : @bobandmaryw4336

I could hear the eccitement in your voice That is so cool because I'm into ancient Rome as well I hope one day I can get something like that I really like old Egytian stuff as well but I never see that stuff Once again, congrats
Comment from : @silverliner4894

That is truly a find! I have been looking to pull the trigger on an Aureus for a while but haven't had the guts You may have just convinced me Enjoy!
Comment from : @mathewzuccato1622

Well done
Comment from : @SavingInGoldAndSilver

Don't know much at all about ancient coins but I'm interested Maybe you could make a video outlining the things you learned about old coins when doing your research
Comment from : @shyuc

Numismatics usually bore me, but these historical pieces are exceedingly interesting I'd love one; I just don't want to pay the premium
Comment from : @GrabMyArm501

For a graded Roman Empire coin I think you are fine
Comment from : @incendiumaquila7605

These coins are so much more interesting than bullion Ive ventured into numismatics with a few sub 100$ silver coins Earliest coin I have is a spanish gold coin my grandfather found on the beach in the Caribbean when my mother was a child 1756 It is amazing you can get such a nice roman gold coin for "only" $5000 A ton of money for a collectable, but a real piece of history Too rich for me unfortunately I don't think its a great investment or store of value but it likely wont ever go down much More similar to buying a rolex or fancy pocket knife, there will always be someone willing to pay for such a thing, but the transaction will be involved
Comment from : @aaronschen9896

Breaking it out! WHAT A BOSS Love it
Comment from : @moriorinvictus

I’ve been devouring your videos and have yet to buy any precious metals but just the other day I was thinking I would love to own a Roman or Ancient Greece coin! 🤯 I was lucky enough to travel around Italy and Greece for a few months in a camper van and visited so many ancient sites and learnt so much that I thought it would be cool to have a coin from such times! You’ve got a beauty there and I would love to see how you eventually display it! ☺️✌️
Comment from : @EnjoyPlantPower

Nice pick up !!brBuy what you like, that's what I do 🤙🏽
Comment from : @theurbancoincollector

I would love to own a gold coin from the Roman era Always been a history nerd with a an interest in the Roman Empire and early Medieval Europe it's not about the money for this stuff it's about owning a piece of history
Comment from : @tsparc2

I very much want one historic piece I’m just getting into stacking though so it’s a future bucket list item for me
Comment from : @Badbigwolf
