<p>[QUOTE="Jason Failla, post: 1942292, member: 71398"]I'm Jason Failla and run the Failla Numis EBay shop. What I see here is quite unfair. Dealers are not all knowing- not even the most reputable. I had no idea the obv die is a known forgery. In fact this coin has tricked other experts and was consigned to le by a prominent and well known collector. The price is absolutely fair if this coin were real. Also - the insinuation that I sell fake Conder tokens is also quite unfair. It seems some folks are hiding behind their computers and I welcome anyone to call me to discuss a single exams of a fake Conder token (or ancient coin for that matter). Ancient forgeries of high quality are sometimes difficult even for experts to spot. This is a reality that some of you pointing the finger should try and understand before condemning others. Apparently this chersonesos is a forgery- I have removed it and will be giving it back to the owner. A mistake is not an example of dishonesty. I also resent the insinuation that it was posted on eBay and not vcoins because of their ethics policy. I have my own internal ethics policy that is independent of vcoins. Please people - act mature- there simply aren't any all-knowing dealers - if this is a mistake - all apologies. In all my years in business I have only had one coin returned as a verifiable forgery. That's as good as any dealer on the planet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jason Failla</p><p>978 375 0778[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
