Found this coin on ebay... for some reason it looks to good to be true.
is it real? and if it doesn't sell is it worth offering the seller 100$ for it?

Thanks folks

Neither of these lists is all-inclusive, but they are always worth consulting:

The auction in question has ended (possibly with a sale?). Even without knowing the seller is suspect, the coin definitely looks wrong, though its interesting that there seem to be a few small edge cracks. If deliberate, that's a particularly deceptive touch.

Bob, thanks for the links! I will definitely be using them.

Lucky, I don't think anyone bid on the coin, luckily! The cracks threw me off as well.

Thanks for all the help
Rest in Peace

Ug. That really isn't a fake that would fool any collector is it? Looks way wrong for every category of examination.

Do yourself a favor and stay off ebay. Try vcoins.com and numisbids.com. I've been collecting ancients for 2 years and pretty much wasted my time (and worse) on ebay.
