If they were to own them and have to post them for sale, with no experience they would probably sell them as 'believed to be fake', and indeed we see many listings where sellers have found themselves unwittingly in possession of ancients which they know nothing about and so they list them as 'unsure of authenticity'.......I have picked up some very nice coins from such listings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
