gerio2 Valued Member United Kingdom 72 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 07:16 am Sold as "Roman Bar Kokhba Revolt, large bronze struck year 1 of the revolt - 132 C.E" In the light of the number of fakes around, the high prices fetched by real Abu Jara ones like this, and the light weight/thinness, I think it might be suspect. Looking at other genuine examples I find 18mm diameter ones are typically 2.5-3.25 grams Other weights and sizes go up to 14 grams but I can find only one close to this weight in 60+ examples on Coin Archives. I can't find any matching fake on FORVM though. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this. Weight 5.6 grams Diam: 24-26 mm Thickness: 2 mm max Report this Post to the Staff

gerio2 Valued Member United Kingdom 72 Posts	Posted 01/05/2022 08:35 am Update: I received an immediate refund when I queried the coin. I've chased the seller twice for a return address and heard nothing yet. Interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

I added him to my fake seller list in February of this year. FINAL UPDATE: I finally heard back after chasing him twice for a return address. He didn't want it back, saying "I don't need it. If you want - destroy it." In other words, he knew what it was all along. I got duped at first but I can at least say the moment I got it in my hand it didn't feel right. Courtesy of this forum I then began to learn a lot about fakes which I didn't know before. The tragedy is that he's scored over 1300 positive sale feedbacks on ebay in the last 12 months. Only one negative - mine. Thanks for your advice everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
JohnConduitt Valued Member United Kingdom 415 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 07:53 am I've heard it said many times (although inconsistently, and I have never done it) that eBay sellers are able to remove negative feedback if they provide a full refund. Report this Post to the Staff
