Well, what shows of two coins looks legit. They are most likely authentic. Many Constantine-era bronzes are extremely common and basically worthless in lower grades. The Romans churned these out by the millions, and you find them sprinkled all over Europe. Some sellers try to package these culls in homemade slabs to give them an air of importance, but that's just a gimmick. Are they real? Most likely yes - there is simply no reason to counterfeit extremely common, worn Constantines. Are they worth your time and money? No.
I agree with JA. I know of this seller, since he is close to me. Self slabs a lot of garbage because a lot of buyers believe "slabs add value". These coins simply appear to be very worn late romans in a fancy holder.
And not very fancy, at that. I got one of these in an eBay lot. The coin rattles around loosely inside the holder (it's smaller than the hole in the foam), and the holder itself isn't sealed; it's easy to snap open and closed by hand. I've thought about making my own novelty insert for it.
What I think is funny is they don't looked slabbed by NGC, PCGS or ANACS. I thought eBay didn't allow other company slabs.
They're allowed; you're just not allowed to mention numeric grades in their title or description. You can, however, use a photo that shows the grade printed on the slab.
