Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 4:26 pm I just came across this fake Bar Kochba bronze. The Hebrew script is the modern type and not the paleo-Hebraic script used on all first and second revolt coins. The bidding is up to $130 with four hours to go. I will try to contact ebay about this coin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ancient-Bar...em540a0e11d3 Here's what a real one looks like: http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/hol...Default.aspx Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 5:03 pm I emailed the seller to let him know he has a fake in case this is an honest mistake. I sent him a link to what a real Bar Kochba coin looks like. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16861 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 6:23 pm We've seen this kind of fake on the forum before, and that old thread contains a link to one of the FORVM fake database entries for this coin. Whoever the bidiots are that are bidding this coin up, they haven't done the basic homework. Someone I suspect is eventually going to be in for a very expensive lesson in "learn before you bid". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
