What do you think? Seems very porous to me, and I don't like the lack of reverse pictures. Edited by Finn235 01/24/2016 01:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 01/23/2016 10:38 pm Shady for sure. If the Vitellius was real, you'd think he would have a picture of both sides. But instead, he offers it with some pocket change. I guess the potential victim is supposed to think they are discovering the "diamond in the rough". Or, maybe it really is genuine but the reverse is a mess and he is just trying to maximize price by distracting potential buyers with some useless pocket change. Report this Post to the Staff
