If you have ever been tempted to buy an ancient gold coin in good condition, but were put off by the price, well you may be too late to ever own one - unless you are a millionaire, or buying on behalf of an institution with unlimited funds...

In common with most gold items, ancient gold coins are reaching new record prices.

Here is a story about a gold aureus of Brutus (yes, that Brutus, assassin of Julius Caesar) which was minted in 42BC, and which has just sold for $525,000.

Of course the coin is genuine, almost uncirculated, and one of only 8 known to exist in the world, but the selling price is still staggering.
