While I didn't find an exact match to this Diadumenian on the Ancient Coins Forum fake site, it doesn't look right to me. The details appear soft . . . perhaps a cast?

I'm not sure and opinions are welcome.

Thanks

I don't like the looks of this one. I see what looks like casting bubbles all over the flan. I could be wrong, I often am but If it were me I would stay away from this one.

I wasn't planning on bidding, just wanted the opinions of others. I'm still learning to spot ancient fakes. I've been fooled a few times in my 15 years of collecting. You always have to be on guard.

That's good to know. I'll make sure to stay away from this seller.

That is a lot of money for a fake.

Oh dear, "Saxbys-Coins"

Benjamin Stocks gets a lot of free advertising here, inadvertently perhaps.
It shows the power of his listings to pull in the gullible, as is further demonstrated by the bidding number (Shill?).

This was another "free advertisement" he got a few weeks ago:
