I'm Considering Buying This Coin Off Of Ebay, What Do You Think?

Not a fan. Why are you considering this coin in particular?

I like the patina after the gunk is removed, but after Victor posted a better one I think I will pass.

Mikev50----> I'm gonna pass on it.

And yet there are some of us who are reputable and actively use ebay as their route to selling off their excess from their collection. These are coins where there is no real viable alternate route to selling.

I have found ebay an invaluable asset !
And while it has its share of 'clowns' (sellers dealing in things they now next to nothing about !)
And 'comedians' (sellers listing $10 coins for $199 !
It weren't so long ago that I remember a Vcoins seller hawking LRB's with the notorious "sand patina !"
Just that all his listings had the same fake sand patina .
After buying spray painted bronzes via Switzerland I have grown skeptical of more than a few "respectable" sellers
But some of my 'favorite' pieces came by way of ebay
My Caligula 'mule'
A nifty sestertius of Elagabalus
Well over 100 tetrarchy folles
Mostly London and Trier !
Even a Judaea Capta sestertius of Vespasian

But yes one need be careful
But even the so-called reputable sources are showing ample evidence of 'corruption'

I'm afraid it's what power & money does
