"Roman Coin 330 Ad" Fake'?

Why do you think it's Roman? It's very round and flat.

Well I wonder if the person was just writing on the flip whatever they thought to write as now you have what is supposed to be a Roman coin from exactly 330 AD and how in the world do they get that from this coin fragment? What was that the Constantine I era? What coin was that supposed to be part of? And they might have been even using an old bronze coin from about 330 flip to put this in. So I'd say that is a later coin of perhaps the middle ages and I have a very hard time making out any letters. As for being "Fake" it is probably not "Fake" it is just mis-labeled and has no real value to fake like this. Someone took this coin remnant that was silver from wherever and put it in a flip that had some other writing on it already. Then the next person bought a lot and it was there and they never took it out of the flip and you have it probably. Just my opinion of course.

@leather, throughout the history of coins, there are multiple examples of coins being divided to make multiple pieces of smaller denominations. I'm not saying that this is what you have here though as I think most of the time the division was more regular (e.g. cut in half or quarters).

I can't tell what kind of coin it used to be - I'm pretty sure it's not Roman - but I can say that the cutting/clipping is modern. If I had to guess, it was cut up by the finder, who wanted to know what metal it was made of.

Either that, or someone was making some "pirate jewellery" and the coin was too round for their artistic taste, so they hacked it up a little to make it look piratey.

All the below is IMO and for entertainment purposes only (meaning I'm not in the mood for future flak from some angry ebay seller...)

Two observations lead me to the same theory/conclusion (and you are now the sad beneficiary of a running interior type-a-logue; sorry):
(1) The pic you posted shows that the flip had been opened and then reclosed (b/c extra staple holes). My immediate thought was that someone took the Roman coin and replaced it with something unidentifiable (and probably not a "coin" at all). Hey, maybe the dealer's got a Romans-crazy kid...
(2) I then stalked the ebay page:
Only one Roman coin is listed, "9) Ancient Roman Coin from approximately 330 AD" [Ed. note: more properly "AD 330," but, whatever, Western Civ. is doomed anyway.]
That coin is in the ebay pic (second down from the left in the coin array), and it's fairly obvious that what you have is NOT what was in the auction. The coin shown in the auction pic is ROUNDish (and the little detail I can make out suggests a kinda chunky, imperfectly round/clipped object that could far more easily pass for a Roman coin than whatever you received).

In fact, right off the bat I thought it weird that the seller went out of his way to state "...with all coins in cardboard being replaced into new clean flips!"
(A) Why would *that* be necessary?
(B) Judging by the pic you posted, the "new clean flips" are not only, at best, no better than the originals (e.g., same old large magic marker scribble) but also, apparently, *worse*, e.g., handwriting is messier, staples hastily placed, extra staple holes and staple scrapings: Oh, and maybe a coin switcheroo or two! (I'd check your others.)
[--adding a (C), which I thought of at the end of my thought process below: "New clean flips" might give a less-than-perfectly-scrupulous person "plausible deniability." When YOU say "Dude, look! It's different from the pic!"; HE says "What you are holding is clearly not the same as was in the pic: Different color ink AND it's clearly been opened/resealed. Are you trying to SCAM ME?!?"
--Of course, I'm a cynical old fart, so surely that isn't what's going on here, nor would it be SOP for someone who, even if not necessarily dishonest, might prefer to keep unhappy customers at bay.]

Last observations: The seller's negative/neutral feedback show "bait & switch" as a common theme, but it seems many of those auctions (or at least the one's he forgot to mark "private," another red flag in certain circumstances) have generic photos and a "you will receive a random selection from" blah blah disclaimer.

Your case is a little different in that it states "You will receive EVERYTHING in the photograph."

I can imagine one of three responses when you inquire:
(1) Honest mistake: Seller sends coin or partial refund.
(2) Seller blows you off.
(3) Seller says "Oh, well, OK, send it back--at your expense--and we'll refund you." In this (most likely) case, the seller either (A) is pretty sure it's not worth your trouble/expense to send it back, (B) refunds your money 'cause the Roman he kept is sufficiently valuable that he doesn't give a flyin', or (C) has you return the lot and doesn't refund your money (and ebay steps in). Either way you ain't gettin' no Roman coin.

All the above is IMO and for entertainment purposes only.

Final addenda (I I mean it this time!): I don't mean to harsh--for all I know you may be lovin' that Wolverine (and I know *nothing* about comic books)--but I haven't seen much of anything among those flips.

For example, I would love to see the "BUFFALO BU 5¢" up close. I'mma guess it's a 2005 Jefferson and not of the same era as the actual Buffalo below it, yeah?
I can't read the name but I'mma guess the "slabbed" coins are Int'l Numismatic Bureau (not the "most trusted name in third-party grading"). Also, a couple of 'em look... empty?

Again, not tryin' to harsh your mellow: I know nothing about stamps, FDCs, foreign paper money, baseball cards, dice, or matchbooks. I'm hoping you love the totality of the lot you got! As for the coins, though, I now truly wonder whether the Roman coin was the single item with appreciable value.

Hey, it's always nice to have a Liberty nickel or a Buffalo rollin' around on your shelf. Steel cents are fun. And who doesn't love to pinch some Vulcan bun on the 50 lire, amiright?

If I've hurt your feelings or diminished the pleasure of your treasure (for which I will apologize)--then share here your upcoming conversation with the seller, and if he meets any of the less-than-honorable expectations I've outlined above--and as a consolation prize for having read this far--I'll mail you some interesting wheat pennies and something in your as-of-yet undisclosed area of numismatic interest, maybe a [suggestions deleted: I'll leave it to you to indicate what you find interesting, if it comes to that].

Good luck!

Update..... I received an email back and was told I could either send it back or receive a partial refund. I asked how much the refund would be and was offered $10. I paid $26. I'm going to take it and the loss of coins I didn't get as well as not purchase from this person again.

Now, I want a Roman coin thanks to this to compare to what I got. The search is on!

Glad you got the partial refund! PM me here (does this site have that?) or via ebay (same username) and I'll see if I can't scrounge up something from my box of mis-spent youth.
