I was thinking of buying one or two and show-casing them at home, maybe one day sell them for a couple million :) Anyway, what do you think about these two ? Sorry for the bad pictures. The guy selling them is an old man and doesn't know how to take a picture. Galba Sestercius: https://ibb.co/7SbkMy2 https://ibb.co/B6YMVTS Nero Dupondius: https://ibb.co/Dg8Xcfx https://ibb.co/7zNs1ng Nero could be interesting because of the separate A V CVI letters. What do you think a fair price for each would be ? Cheers. Edited by resistance88 09/21/2020 10:12 am Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 1:52 pm Here is a photograph of an authentic Galba LIBERTAS PVBLICA Sestertius which you can compare to the coin the seller is offering. I think it shows the difference in style. Unfortunately, there are a LOT of fake ancient coins on the market. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

resistance88 New Member Bosnia And Herzegovina 2 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 3:13 pm You guys really have a trained eye. What would you look at first when determining if the coin is fake ? On closer look, I also see the crudeness in them. Thanks a lot for the answers and the welcome :) Edited by resistance88 09/21/2020 3:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 09/22/2020 09:22 am If you're just starting out, I would only buy from trusted dealers. It will take some time in spotting fakes and we all get fooled every now and again. Vcoins is a good place to start and there CCF partners here on this forum. Report this Post to the Staff
