bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 02:44 am I may be wrong here but would like some opinions: http://cgi.ebay.com/GOLD-ANCIENT-RO...t_720wt_1139 http://cgi.ebay.com/GOLD-ROMAN-ANCI...t_720wt_1139 I'm sure someone selling genuine coins would go to the trouble of actually stating who they were issued by (Caracalla or Elagabalus? and Geta) Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 08:42 am He has 2 feedbacks (1 x Oct, 1 x Nov) totalling ï¿½Â£1080 for similar coins, feedback is positive! How can people spend that kind of money and be so gullible! Edited by bobbyhelmet 01/30/2011 08:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 09:45 am Thanks maridvnvm, I hoped you'd be able to find an exact match. I looked on Forum Ancient Coins this morning but in my sleep deprived hung over state I was unable to spot this one! Have been looking at a few of this sellers bidders and one from Israel seems to do a lot of 'bidding up' but little buying, also has 100% bid activity with this seller. Never reported anything before - are ebay interested or do they show their usual crappy customer service in their unending quest for more fees? Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 10:17 am Oh, but he offers "Seven-day money back". Shipping from London? By seven days the package should be SOMEWHERE in the U. S.! Report this Post to the Staff
Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 6:29 pm It's easy to get positive feedback if the buyer is either a shill to establish authenticity or a buyer that just doesn't know what they have. ebay cares little as the Tiffany law suite illustrates. Report the seller and ebay will require proof. Good luck. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2885 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 05:58 am The coin that Martin has kindly reproduced here wouldn't really fool an experienced collector but it probably would fool a novice or someone just wanting a cheap ancient coin. I'd put these in the "dangerous" category for that reason.
