Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 5:46 pm Here we go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...121088852005 The design matches what should be in a solidus and the coin is a bit...off, style wise. ITs in pretty good condition too. I dont see it on the fakes database... what do you guys think of it? Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 6:38 pm Well, looky here. Its nearly exactly the same as this solidus: They appear to have copied the breaks in the letters too. Perhaps it is copied from that very specimen. Im not going to pronounce it fake - I've messaged the seller voicing my concerns and asking for a picture of the edge. That should be the damning evidence. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 7:49 pm I'm giving the seller a chance to respond to me and take it down themselves. If they havent by tomorrow evening then ill report them. Report this Post to the Staff
