Private listings. Many of his coins look good, but most look soft and some have casting seams&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I&#039;m suspicious of all 3 of these coins. The style of the Caligula looks strange to me when compared with similar coins sold by reputable sellers, especially the portrait(but I am not well versed in these types so maybe it&#039;s perfectly fine). The Hadrian looks like it might have a casting seam and the Germanicus looks like it might have had one ground off. All 3 coins have strange looking surfaces that I&#039;m not a fan of.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mean this as an insult, but your posts show that you don&#039;t have the experience to be buying from random sellers on eBay. You should be buying coins from better sources like Vcoins sellers or some of the bigger auction houses so you don&#039;t have to come here and find out they&#039;re fake after the fact and you need to handle actual authentic coins to learn to authenticate them for yourself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
