How Much Is This Coin Worth?

I'm about as far from an expert on Roman coins as a numismatist could possibly be, but this seems to be an incredibly rare coin worth on the order of $1000+ (maybe more).
As such, what you have is likely a fake or a copy

The guys above are correct, even in poor condition these fetch $1000, the second one Martin posted is worth in the order of $50000.

They are not common coins and much sought after, show us more pics of his other offerings

I suspect many will be dodgy!

Here are some more coins, sorry about the small ones at the bottom.(on a different note, picked up a nice Quintillus of ebay yesterday for £5 )

I believe a proper fake of the triple portrait might be worth 20 pounds but this one does not capture the portraits of the three (especially Carausius) and has been butchered to make it appear old. That is where it stops being desirable as a space filler and starts being a piece of trash. There was a time where it was acceptable to include in ones collection openly acknowledged fakes of things we all know we can't have. This was the theory that brought us the Renaissance copies we call Paduans which can be worth nearly as much as the coins they copied. The problem came later when someone discovered that there were people out there that could be fooled into thinking that they were lucky enough to get a $50k coin for $50. I would love to know how much the seller here paid for the coin.

Here is another example of the fake Carausius:

It is an important coin historically and I would sell my Grandmother for a nice one, a little more info here:

I always think it is nice knowing where a coin was found, especially if it was in the UK. I looked on the Imperium map of where it was found and it is right next to a roman road which is interesting. I seem to be on a bit of a buying streak at the moment; its the first bit of luck I've had in a while! I still prefer the Florian (I'll get it Monday.)over this IMO however the Quintillus feels so nice in hand.

Here are some pictures(two of each side with slightly different lighting.)...

For those of us here who have trouble spotting fake coins this seller is the textbook example of somebody not to trust when buying coins. He is ringing so many bells he could be a campanologist.

1. He is selling valuable coins but seems to know little or nothing about them.

2. Descriptions about quality and patina are wrong, so are many attributions.

3. His feedback is low and kept private, half of his feedback is from this month alone.

4. He is using at least 1 shill bidding account with a feedback of 37 and 100% bids on his stuff.

5. I hate to say this as we have at least two nice guys on here from Bulgaria whose coins I love to see but when a link from a seller is suspected to Bulgaria you must scrutinize the coins more.

6. He has included a few low value genuine coins (the lots shown above) as an after-thought just to make the rest of his stuff seem more authentic.

Even if you cant spot fake coins, when you see stuff like the above run for the hills! This guy will probably make a few quid for Christmas then have his account frozen and disappear.
