[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2967915, member: 56859"]That seller's inventory is loaded with blatant fakes of popular coins which generally carry a high price tag (the real coins, not his fakes). The seller even has carbon-copy duplicates in his current listing which is of course a dead giveaway for fake, even if a person doesn't know anything about the specific ancient coin. Here's a smattering of the current listings: [ATTACH=full]727649[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727652[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727653[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727654[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727647[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727653[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]727656[/ATTACH] This description for an overtly fake Leontini tet is particularly amusing: "We will update later. Tested 2000 Years Old. labeled first-strike . we not sure what that means . We are not a coin store." ... [USER=67226]@Charles1997[/USER], best to return the “coin”.[/QUOTE]
