<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 24822886, member: 91820&quot;]Sorry I should have been more clear - I have never had a coin like the one you lost out on -</p><p><br /></p><p>My inquiry is this:&nbsp;&nbsp; there is right now a sestertius of Caracalla up for auction&nbsp; on EBay Italy that I am asking for help with as to whether it is a fake or not - there is only two days left to bid and someone that is listed as bidding with the seller 100% of the time just outbid me. That raises a red flag.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is a die match of the same type in the British Museum but I think both coins - the one for sale and the BM coin are somewhat problematic.&nbsp; I had hoped Curtis Clay could take a look at the coin and give me his opinion before I put another bid on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the very same coin was listed by a Spanish seller in a catalog sale a few months ago but inexplicably taken down. Another red flag.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the weight, size, style seem ok. I’d say 60/40 in favor of being fake. But I very much want it to be authentic!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Blake[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
