PhoenicianX Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 5:57 pm So I came across this auction site on SixBid but I have no idea if they guarantee the authenticity of the coin since nothing is mentioned on their terms of sale. The auction is called 51 gallery and no one made any bids on the coins or their items..the starting price is 200 Euros! That's amazing for a coin of this condition.. Thoughts?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 6:22 pm I checked the Ancient fake reports and didn't find any match. The coin looks struck and not cast. Unless this is a unrecorded resent fake I think the coin is legit. Report this Post to the Staff
MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 6:24 pm Usually a pretty safe place to buy from, though I do find the pictures a little deceiving from time to time. The bidding ends on that coin tomorrow. http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?a...&lot=1395783 You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 6:46 pm Why would it be too good to be true? Its like 220 Euros! Its pedigreed and looks straight. Why do you think this is fake? Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 7:09 pm Expect the price to go up on this one. I'd doubt that coin will stay at 200 euros. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 7:17 pm Can the reputation of the seller be confirmed? That should be the very first step in a provenance investigation. Assessment of the coin 'in hand' would be a great help. Is this possible? All part of due diligence, prior to the purchase of a high value ancient coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 8:31 pm It looks like there is live bidding for this auction so bidders might not pop out of the woodwork until the bidding actually happens. It looks like it sold it at a Tradart auction in 1992. Maybe you can find an online copy of the auction catalog. I believe this is Tradart's website if that helps: http://tradart.ch/en/index.html Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 10/17/2014 06:32 am Expect the hammer to be much higher. The last 51 Gallery auction brought extremely strong prices during live bidding. Report this Post to the Staff
PhoenicianX Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 10/18/2014 07:15 am So I was watching the live bidding.. Right before they were about to auction the coin, I placed my bid of 250 Euros in shock as to how no one else was bidding on that item. During that lot, it went all quiet with my bid being the highest, and then all of a sudden someone quickly outbid me by 2500 Euros.... What a fail on my part hahahah Report this Post to the Staff
