echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 1:03 pm Planetparty, I see nothing wrong with Irbguy's comment. Lots of collectors hold onto their fakes and use them as a reference on how to spots other fakes. Everyone here has given you sound advice. Don't be so quick to snap at the helping hand.

I replied three times earlier and you still ask if I read the thread? You have bought the coin, you have asked about it, and you have been given numerous opinions. The rest is up to you. Troubleshooting the reliability of a seller is another subject entirely. Report this Post to the Staff

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 02/29/2016 05:26 am The fake coin from the fake reports is a cast fake and is clearly identified from exact duplicates not just die duplicates. What would people say here if I were to suggest that it is a cast of a real coin rather than a creation from modern dies? Could this then be that the other two coins are a reverse die match rather then condemning all three? Martin Report this Post to the Staff

The issue of fake ancients is becoming pandemic. Facebook is rife with 'forums' where people are selling fake ancients. Why pay more ? Get the whole twelve Caesars for 75% off ! Straight from the fields Act now supplies are limited The source in this case is someone who Is selling literally hundreds of worthless Balkan inflation notes. Coincidentally the same geographic area known to be cranking out ever improved fake silver. I am satisfied that it smells bad Report this Post to the Staff
jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 02/29/2016 12:51 pm Planetparty Speaking as a relatively newbie myself, do yourself a favor and avoid ebay. Stick to dealers on Vcoins or established ancient sellers (usually on Vcoins). I have a fake I keep as a talisman near my computer. It reminds me how easy it is to get ripped off online. The easiest way to avoid trouble is simply to stick to dealers who guarantee what they sell. Report this Post to the Staff
