<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3244588, member: 85693&quot;]Very well-put, Sulla 80.&nbsp; I think this pretty much agrees with my eBay experiences. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there are a bunch of fake Tribute Pennies and Tetradrachms on eBay.&nbsp; I&#039;d never bid on that kind of material - I don&#039;t even look at it.&nbsp; But for low-end material eBay is hard to beat. </p><p><br /></p><p>Far more &quot;clutter&quot; comes from overpriced stuff than fakes - Gordian III antoninianus for $299.00 free shipping!&nbsp; But the nice thing about all the clutter is that it obscures the bargains.&nbsp; If you are willing to hunt, there is some good stuff there. </p><p><br /></p><p>This might not meet &quot;good stuff&quot; criteria for some CT members, but I just got this Hadrian sestertius in the mail yesterday - $22 on eBay - my first restitution series.&nbsp; Low grade, but pretty nice by my standards.&nbsp; Vcoins has one for $400, about the same condition.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty sure this one is genuine. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]850145[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Hadrian&nbsp; Æ Sestertius</b></p><p><b>(134-138 A.D.)</b></p><p><b>Rome Mint</b></p><p>[HADR]IANVS AVG COS III PP laureate, draped bust right / [RESTITVTO]RI ACH[AIAE], Hadrian, togate, standing left, raising up kneeling Achaea; vase with palm between figures, SC in exergue.</p><p>RIC 938; Cohen 1216.</p><p>(26.17 grams / 31 mm)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
