Words of wisdom in every regard.

I think we all should take a long hard look at a magnificent fake.

STEVEX6'S TWO-BIT MATH-ANALYSIS:

a) Batman has his doubts about this coin

b) the seller himself has doubts about this coin (no returns, buyer beware)

c) as my good friend DVCollector once said to me => "Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt"

:high5:


... but I left you guys (gals) with my favourite avatar ...


Cheers!! (I love hanging-out with you guys!! ... thanks for putting-up with me!!)

:cheers: :headphones: :cheers:

 

with the cracks on the side it seems like they added those in to make it look older maybe? that was a very good analyses of the authenticity of the coin!

 

For a second there MorganDollar, I thought you were talking about stevex6's avatar.

 

That is without a doubt MY favorite of your avatars. :devil:

 

FWIW, the item seems to have been taken down from eBay. The message says "This item is no longer available".

I wonder if one of you guys made an offer to the seller or possibly reported it as fake?

 

Not I, but I doubt Ebay did anything. It's not like them. Perhaps the seller got wind of our discussion.

 

Not me. Playing internet police has got to be the most useless endeavor ever.

 

I suspect you are correct. I did not contact the seller, but I wouldn't be surprised, if he didn't take a look at our thread here.

I see stuff like this all the time, we talk about a rare type of coin, or a "chase" coin and oddly enough with a few days there is a half dozen examples being sold a prices that border on extortion.

Take the First Meris Tet, I posted it, made a big stink about it and the 5 examples that were listed for sale in the usual places all of a sudden produced several more in a variety of conditions ranging from $250 - $1750.

As well as my "rare" Byzantine silver, there was only 2 for sale for like a year, I went on the computer and found like 6 recently added for sale. Very interesting....


Maybe if I sit here and go "Siculo Punic Horse Carthage Tetradrachm" someone will place one for sale in $200-$300 range. Come on seller, you got it and I want it.

 

that's great! LOL!

it's gone.
