Given all the doubts, I'll bounce it off the crowd over at FORVM and see what they have to say. Thanks.
The seller guarantees his coins. So if it checks out bad, I'll send it back. He's got 100% positive feedback so far with 1400 transactions. I...

Nice Vitellius and Galba coins Gil-Galad! Those are both tough coins. Since we're on the topic of fourees, I'll mention that I had to settle for...
