Howdy peeps,
I'm not an ancient collector but I dew like to dabble in them but some time ago, a seller in the UK purchased a mould for ancient counterfeits and unfortunately we didn't save the pics from the auction to use for a reference for future ancients the seller offered and considering this seller knowingly sells fake California Gold Fractionals as authentic (Mike Locke has messaged him many times, as have others), and has made a bundle off them, we suspect he will/is sell/ing fake ancients too.

So your job, should you accept, is to browse his ancients currently being offered, to see if you can spot any fakes, then report your findings back here.

They aren't even solid gold and he's sold hundreds of them and Ebay won't do anything about it!
As to his completed auctions of ancients, look at these:

Be sure to scroll through his entire backlog of auctions, to see the ones that are repeatedly sold and ask yourself that simple question . . . where does he get all of these from?
