[QUOTE="hoth2, post: 2135832, member: 74431"]Hi Guys, I've been lurking for a while and just bought a coin that seems suspicious, which seemed like as good a time as any to finally register. If anyone could help me out it would be very appreciated. The coin is a Kyzikos Mysia Hemiobol. Here's the listing: [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/MORTOWN-Kyzikos-Mysia-Silver-Hemiobol-Running-Boar-Head-of-Roaring-Lion-/151627625489?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=mFeKbMlQsvSrCHRMb14o7I%252F7MjU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc[/url] The description seems to be lifted pretty directly from wildwinds. The coin does in fact, as the listing says, weigh .37 grams. The two examples on wildwinds weigh .71 and .8, which by itself seems suspect and has me kicking myself that I didn't check wildwinds in advance. The kicker is that he threw in an OBVIOUSLY fake coin. I was ready to send him a message this morning to discuss a refund, but I thought I'd check in here first. Pictures are attached. The last one is of the coin he threw in. Thanks![/QUOTE]
