Out of curiosity what are they asking? can you provide a link? I looked for a decent one, and found only a few weak ones. I did find the 6 grammer with the owl reverse but it was like $750, all the money!

Its here ($95US):

http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/eph...Default.aspx

Mmmmm, awkward, if the above listing is active and the coin exists I'd be a bit worried, I thought they were the same actual coin. Look at the reverse flan damage on both coins together.

Yea thats the SAME coin. Thats where Mr. Eng bought it, I would assume he is either a) reusing a stock photo. Or b) the coin is not available and the store is slow to remove it. I belive it being a fake is very unlikley. Eng studied it as well as my self and the coin is struck for sure. I think I can chop this up to sloppy online sales.

Stock photos I hope not, very poor form unless your selling $1 coins.

Very sloppy indeed though not the first time I've seen a sold coin remain on Vcoins for a while. Odd its remained for two weeks though. I was considering putting an offer in for it.

Yes, that's the same coin, I asked the saler why it was still there, he said he hadn't got around to remove it.....

Beautiful coin, hard to find as well. The Himyarite kingdom (Arabia Felix) is fascinating.
