I dont know about fake. I've never seen a real crispina denarius, but perhaps unnofficial? The bust certainlydoesn't look right to me. Id leave it well enough alone, were I seeing it for sale.

A high ebay reputation means very little. There are sellers who only sell fakes who maintain feedback in the high 90s. |

There are lists of ebay fakesellers. Some are criminals who make a lot of money selling fakes. Some are offered by eBayers who are not professional criminals, but deliberately casual about authenticity. If you have any doubts about an offering, check this list: http://augustusmath.hypermart.net/fakesellers.htmlAvoid coins from these sellers and you will avoid many of the fakes on ebay. |

I am suspicious of the style of the bust, compared to known genuine examples.
