    (He actually paid to have this turd...I mean highly desirable Authentic Ancient, entumbed:hilarious:!)

    Notice the star above Victory:pompous: on his coin. Mine is the much more rare version, sans the star:D
    That means mine is probably worth $1,500-$2k!:nailbiting:

    How about a "NOT ORIGINAL", "superb stike with stunning details, size and weight matched very closely to the original. Origin and Provenance of this masterpiece is not known.", "Syracuse Dionysius I Silver Decadrachm" for a mere "C $25,750.00
    Approximately US $20,368.61"

    After checking his eBay store, I have decided to sell all my LRBs at £300 each!

    All I know about Mr. LowRating-HighPrice himself is his... memorable... appearance on Pawn Stars

    Congratulations; you got me to spend five minutes watching a video. :)

    How did you connect the eBay seller to this appearance?

    It's common knowledge that "High Rating - Low Price" is Ilya Zlobin.

    I don't know why you'd expect to get offered retail market value by a pawnbroker anyway
