<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2171263, member: 72818&quot;]Yesterday I won two coins at auction from Agora and posted them on the &#039;Quarterly Progress&#039; thread---one was the coin referenced above and I will post a&nbsp; sellers photo of it...and I will try to attach a link to a site about these &#039;fakes&#039; from MR Barry Murphy, which TIF provided. If I can&#039;t get the link up just google Barry Murphy, Numismatists and that one listing will be his expressing expressing thanks for the web-site that he used.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://search.myway.com/search/redirect.jhtml?action=pick&amp;qs=&amp;pr=GG&amp;searchfor=barry+Murphy+numismatist&amp;cb=ZO&amp;pg=GGmain&amp;p2=%5EZO%5Exdm035%5ETTAB02%5Eus&amp;n=781af523&amp;qid=8e3103dca3a54c83a8ce01359d766d1c&amp;pn=1&amp;ss=sub&amp;st=tab&amp;ptb=E48206A5-851D-4BB3-ADAE-94EEF7F8C5E4&amp;tpr=sbt&amp;si=CIi7v7vPx8QCFYE7gQod1kEAsw&amp;redirect=mPWsrdz9heamc8iHEhldEXMepi5pN5tv%2FjAuIPKxWl3%2FzKfKVGvEm%2F%2FO3oPy2NOU&amp;ord=1&amp;ct=AR&amp;" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://search.myway.com/search/redirect.jhtml?action=pick&amp;qs=&amp;pr=GG&amp;searchfor=barry+Murphy+numismatist&amp;cb=ZO&amp;pg=GGmain&amp;p2=%5EZO%5Exdm035%5ETTAB02%5Eus&amp;n=781af523&amp;qid=8e3103dca3a54c83a8ce01359d766d1c&amp;pn=1&amp;ss=sub&amp;st=tab&amp;ptb=E48206A5-851D-4BB3-ADAE-94EEF7F8C5E4&amp;tpr=sbt&amp;si=CIi7v7vPx8QCFYE7gQod1kEAsw&amp;redirect=mPWsrdz9heamc8iHEhldEXMepi5pN5tv%2FjAuIPKxWl3%2FzKfKVGvEm%2F%2FO3oPy2NOU&amp;ord=1&amp;ct=AR&amp;" rel="nofollow">http://search.myway.com/search/redirect.jhtml?action=pick&amp;qs=&amp;pr=GG&amp;searchfor=barry+Murphy+numismatist&amp;cb=ZO&amp;pg=GGmain&amp;p2=^ZO^xdm035^TTAB02^us&amp;n=781af523&amp;qid=8e3103dca3a54c83a8ce01359d766d1c&amp;pn=1&amp;ss=sub&amp;st=tab&amp;ptb=E48206A5-851D-4BB3-ADAE-94EEF7F8C5E4&amp;tpr=sbt&amp;si=CIi7v7vPx8QCFYE7gQod1kEAsw&amp;redirect=mPWsrdz9heamc8iHEhldEXMepi5pN5tv/jAuIPKxWl3/zKfKVGvEm//O3oPy2NOU&amp;ord=1&amp;ct=AR&amp;</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I immediately contacted Agora by e-mail and will follow-up with a phone call today with Matt about the &#039;issue&#039;. I also accessed acsearch to see what a truly genuine&nbsp; tetrobol looked like in comparison. It seems that all the &#039;red-flags&#039; that Murphy mentions are on at least three or four of the coins listed as sold---including from CNG; primarily, that includes: the upwards hair, the large pellets making up the flowers and a poorly executed reverse with &#039;incorrect&#039; lettering locations.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this can be a very instructive thread and I welcome all posts expressing opinions, insights, experiences and any other related subject matter. I will post an additional segment&nbsp; (or perhaps one or two more) as this &#039;situation&#039; resolves itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Presently, in the absence of a letter of Certification from Murphy, I will be arranging a debit/PayPal payment reversal with Agora. Please share your thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
