noobcollector105 New Member Korea, Republic Of 10 Posts	Posted 03/13/2024 05:45 am I purchased this tremisiss for $305. Since I purchased it about $100 cheaper than the average price, I am asking because I am suspicious of its authenticity. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?sid...sRefine=true This is a link to the ebay store of the seller who sold this.The seller name is ancientcoins100. If anyone knows about this seller or has purchased from this seller , I would appreciate it if you could leave me a comment. I am Korean, so please understand if my English is not good.

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2216 Posts	Posted 03/13/2024 07:28 am Welcome to CCF! Sorry I'm not familiar with ancient gold coins to give an opinion. There are a lot of good and bad sellers on ebay. Below is long list of known fake sellers of ancient coins/artifacts, they sometimes change their name when caught. At least your seller offers 14 day returns and is not on the list. Unless you have experience buying ancient coins it might be better to buy from known trusted dealers like on Vcoins.com. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/b...opic=18502.0 Edited by livingwater 03/13/2024 07:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

classic_coin Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 03/13/2024 09:58 am No need to apologize, your English is certainly much better than my Korean. As for the coin, can you give us the coin's purported identifying information? What coin did the seller claim it to be? Ruler? Region? Catalog number? The seller doesn't have any of the obvious signs of being "fake." It's an old(er) account, opened in 2009. A number of verified transactions. Not located in China. These things don't clear the seller, but they are good initial signs. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/13/2024 11:59 am Looks like a real Justinian I AV tremissis of Constantinople to me. The soft/incomplete strike is not unusual for the type. Can't speak as to the seller.

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 04:14 am If they've been around since 2009 with a name like "ancientcoins100" and haven't made the FORVM list of bad sellers, then they're probably OK. Note: just because a seller isn't "bad" does not necessarily mean the coin is therefore "good". Good sellers can sometimes sell bad coins, if it's a high quality copy and/or it's outside their field of expertise. But a good seller will care about their reputation: they will remove listings of fake coins if it is pointed out, they won't re-list a returned coin they know is fake, and they will refund anyone who bought a coin that later turns out to be fake. Byzantine gold isn't my field of expertise, but if it was my money to gamble with, I'd be happy assuming the coin and seller were both OK. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
mylimebug New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 10:38 am Almost definitely authentic. Correct style, correct fabric, some light bends. Typical of this type. Report this Post to the Staff
