Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 12/20/2014 12:26 pm Here's another coin I was watching on ebay UK. It appears to be an unattributed Pupienus sestertius. At 14.3 grams it appears to be light-weight, but I did find a few examples of lower weight sestertii of his during my research. I dropped out of the bidding. Without a readable name I wasn't sure what it was worth. It sold for $130. It looks legitimate to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANCIENT-ROM...p=true&rt=nc Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

I would have been in the chase. (after a seller took 5 weeks to deliver my sons tenth birthday present I refused delivery (as I promised seller after 4 weeks) and ebay now feels the seller is entitled to both my money and the returned item.) Top that ! By the way it looks like the common type for Pupienus and Balbinus with PROVIDENTIA DEORVM reverse For the record the ebay representatives repeatedly wished me a merry Christmas and thanked me for shopping ebay while telling me I was in the wrong. Sometimes I really wish I wasn't of sound mind Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 12/20/2014 4:41 pm Package was marked "refused" when it arrived Dec 8. ebay claims I had no right to refuse as the package was shipped a mere 5 weeks after payment was made. That is over 4 weeks after the birthday party for my ten year old son. ebay is apparently more than happy to make their 'cut' and allow seller to resell item (ipad) and make money a second time ! It sounds like a criminal racket to me but they are quite satisfied to tell me that I have been very unfair to the seller. It sounds like I made this up. I did not ebay is a very corrupt organization. I assume the guards at headquarters wear pin stripe suits and carry violin cases. Report this Post to the Staff
