Is This Fake?

I think they are both authentic, but hard to be 100% certain just from the images. If they are real, they are beautiful. Good luck

he has a 60 day money back sort of thing and 100% feedback, so maybe I could get it confirmed by pcgs/ngc?

none look like any of the forgery var.

Yeah, I didnt get it. I tried 285 and it shot all the way from like 250 to 350.

I dont get how ebay bidding works.. I'm confused about the autobidding thing.

I wasnt interested in the second link, just merely showing he was selling another coin that was known for being conterfeited.


Thanks everyone for the quick responses, even though I didnt end up getting it : P

Steve, to give my opinion...I think the same rules apply to that ebay coin.
The profuse description/provenance does not hide the fact the seller does not accept returns--something reputable dealers do. They didn't get the dating right either.
Even if genuine, the coin has a lot of issues that make the current $475 bid too high--imo.
Personally, there are details on this coin I don't like, such as the Medusa snakes where the helmet crest should be.
Anyone here interested in an Athenian owl tet is welcome to shoot me an email--and I'll send you the research I've done before buying.

If someone places a proxy bid of 400, and the highest current bid is 240, it shows 250 as high bid. If another bidder puts in a proxy of 340, the robot raises the bid to 350, which is still under the 400 proxy.

Think of it as telling ebay the most you're willing to pay, and they bid for you until you win or someone is willing to pay more.

A much better way is to go to http://www. (20120216) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com and set up an account, giving them your proxy.

The advantage: If you give ebay a proxy nine days before the auction ends, that's nine days other bidders can keep bumping the bid and eating away at your proxy. They can even "accidentally" bid $10,000 and find your high bid, then remove their bid.

With (20120216) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed , no one at ebay knows your bid, or even that you're interested, until 8 seconds before the auction ends, when your bid is made automagically, even if you're not at your nincompute. That usually doesn't allow enuf time for another bid, so you win (unless you just plain didn't offer enuf).
