The red flag for the first two is that they appear to be the very same coin ( ebay item #'s 113852512465 & 113853659683): Here's a couple others ( ebay item #'s 113853660976 & 113853660192): I don't see anything in these photos themselves that screams "fake", but it bothers me that in one instance a photo was used twice, and that the manner in which the photos were taken is inconsistent (on a finger versus against a blue background). What do you think the chances are you receive the actual coin pictured, and whether you did or not, that it'd be genuine?

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/15/2019 1:27 pm He peddles genuine bronze Greek (mostly common Seleucid), late Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic/Indian coins - Those seem to be genuine mostly. Most if not all of his denarii are highly suspect. I would assume the same for his Greek silver. Report this Post to the Staff

I see he in fact appears on a recently posted list of known sellers of fakes: http://goccf.com/t/353943 Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
