<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Harry G, post: 5377201, member: 105282&quot;]Hi all! I recently bought this coin, and am very excited, as it appears to be an extremely rare antoninianus of Vabalathus in pretty great condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller I bought it from has over 12,000 positive feedbacks, and sells unresearched Roman coins, almost all of which are common Constantine&#039;s, Aurelian ants etc. I asked the seller a few questions about this coin (i.e. where it came from, has it been cleaned etc) and they gave good answers. I managed to snag the coin... for £31?!</p><p><br /></p><p>I know eBay probably isn&#039;t the best place to buy coins, but this coin looks good to me, as do all the other coins the seller has to offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does it look legit? I know it&#039;s impossible to say for certain from a picture, but you&#039;ve all helped me in the past, and hopefully you can help with this too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before purchasing, I made sure to check theforgerynetwork and Forum Ancient Coins, and couldn&#039;t find any die matches to fake coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin weighs 4.42g (which I notice is heavier than most other specimens), and is 20mm in diameter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if it is real, any idea on the value? I&#039;ve seen similar specimens sell at auction for between £400 and £800, and I&#039;m not sure where this stacks up in comparison. Not that I&#039;d sell it (this will be a fantastic addition to my collection if it&#039;s real)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
