Yeah, I had a hunch that this one was likely the fake type being sold (the picture looks familiar - @Ryro confirmed it), although at first glance...
CT Team, Heads up - this fake of a Brundisium semis is being offered up in a well-known Italian auction house. I've posted the image of the...
I usually go through EBay once a week, and check SixBid once or twice a month or so. That seems to work well enough for me. Most of the coins I'm...
