Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 4:04 pm Yeah, copying an issue of Trajan Decius. At least he has "museum copy" in the listing...although it's a safe bet it was never sold through any museum shop. It'll likely be resold down the line without the "copy" part mentioned in the sale.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 4:23 pm If it was sold in a museum shop as a copy, it would be marked on the coin Copy. At least this seller is honest enough to say it's fake. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 7:16 pm But we all know many buyers NEVER actually READ the copy in an ebay lot. I don't know how many questions I've had to answer that were answered in the description if the person asking could or would read. Report this Post to the Staff
jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 10:58 pm Annoying. It's not like it's a thousand dollar coin. You can get a decent TD for about $75 from a reputable dealer. Report this Post to the Staff
NorthSideTy Valued Member Canada 204 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 11:43 pm I read it. I just didn't understand if a "museum copy" meant an actual fake copy of the coin or an authentic coin that looks like it should be in a museum. The add stated it was Very Rare so that threw me off. I get it now. (I'm new to ancients) trying to soak up as much info as possible. Edited by NorthSideTy 03/13/2016 11:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
