Can anyone give some input on this coin that is coming up for sale today?

If I was going to spend that much money on a coin on line the first place I would look is at Vcoins. The dealers there are well know and trusted. There are just too many fakes to trust just any on line seller.

Why overspend? All four of these currently on ebay are genuine:

That Constantius II Solidus auction, what about those "blobs" on the Shield and the mintmark?

Doesn't look, to me, like a struck coin.

I agree, I don't like the looks of those blobs. I don't see any flow lines from the struck that you would expect to see in a high grade coin like this.
