Most of his stuff are fakes. He uses the same photograph several times for "very rare" coins. But he is making pennies for ebay so I suppose that's ok then.

Ive seen a bunch of these and assumed they were poorly tooled, so never tgook a good look. But that is shoddy. I kind of want one, though, just as an examplpe of how poor counterfeiting can be.

LOL! It's cute in a pathetic way.

But the seller is not calling it an ancient coin or authentic coin. He says 'antique Baktria king style medal'.

TIF- True, but it is clearly a copy of a Eucratidies / Dioscuri Tetradrachm.

I like the Dino-Riders on the reverse.

The seller has more "small print" than actual info on that crap. Well, all they could really add to the description is "Tourist Fake".
