I recently got a pretty cool little lot of 5th & 6th C AE coins from an auction. Mostly, I was after some Thrasamund Vict.s & nice monograms, but...
Voulgaroktonou, much thanks for the info. I found one of the Justin monograms recently in a lot of similar coins & was having trouble with an...
For what it's worth, Val. III bronze isn't all that rare. Scarce maybe. Problem, same as most later Rulers, is their coins weren't collected much...
Old thread, but, MAN! That is very cool! Nice work. I can't believe this thread hasn't caught more traction by now. This is what I love about the...
Wow. Just wow. Thank you very much. Scary. Too easy to assume the cheaper types aren't worth the trouble to faking & let your guard down. I guess...
This seller I've bought quite a few coins from, mostly from his days on FORVM ANCIENT COINS' auction, but recently re-found him on ebay (& just in...
Kind of an old thread, but if you're still wondering, I think (pretty sure) the Vict. coin is a Sri Lanka imitation. Cool story re them, worth...
I bet the silvering on that Maximian Follis is nice in-hand. That Gordian III too! Engraver got some emotion on Pax. Nice finds
This seller is named lorstuff. Nice guy, really knowledgeable. Trustworthy for sure. I got this maybe Vandal, maybe Valentinian III (I think Val...
For ref, after looking at this one a bit more, I have it pegged as RIC X 2137. Possible 2138 but I think what I initially took for a wreath is...
Cool, a few already brought up cody111111 & frascatius. Cody11111 has a pretty good rotation of decent coins; I like his store. Seems like an...
Correction; Officina is "Alpha", 1, not "Delta" or 4.
Yeah, shoot, that's right, there is a notorious fake-seller with a VERY similar name. Given the point of this thread, I really should'v mentioned...
Same seller, numis-kimel Most of the ancient coins seem to be fixed-price; prices all go down 20% after you look at a listing. And they have the...
Same seller, numis-kimel 2) Arcadius; VICTOR-IA AVGGG, Vict Adv L, wreath; Lugdunum! Mint; $6.40 fixed price[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Next seller, I really like: numis-kimel. I'm gonna do 3 from her, and probably at least another when my next order finally makes it through the...
This one came from cameleoncoins. $25 for a lot of 5 coins, other 4 were SALVS REIP., Victory dragging caltive types. 2 were nice & mints I needed...
Alright, on to Ebay. This coin was purchased for $15.49 + S&H from ancient_treasures. I suck at taking pictures of coins. It is much better...
The first coin I'm going to post was not purchased on ebay. As I said above, that's the best way to avoid fakes on Ebay. I know, kind of a jerk...
Ok, so, Ebay. That is the idea here. There are some great sites with lists of Fake Sellers, with some of the best minds available diligently...
