bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 7:02 pm [eBayItem]190783995771[/eBayItem] Is this some newfangled method of authentication I've not heard about before Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 7:28 pm Something seems fishy to me. If the coin broke like the guy said it did, he could have replaced the image no problem. At least, I understand that sellers can edit sales. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 10:21 pm Makes me wonder about the one he snapped. I have had very brittle coins to break. I even had a very nice Caracalla drop on my carpet and broke in two. From the images, it looks right. Interesting way to auction off the coins for sure. And yes. I know I think a couple of those guys I won't let near my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 11:13 pm That's funny because the same thing happened to me . I had this 100oz engelhard silver bar I was selling ....... I was holding it my hand and noticed that it was 2 grams too light. I dropped it on the floor and sure enough it split open......... ...........................

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 3:12 pm I saw this listing a week ago and I thought "what a @!X*for breaking that coin, even if it was an ancient forgery, at least in portraiture it had value". Report this Post to the Staff
