<p>[QUOTE="ashbel73, post: 7677053, member: 121365"]Thank you very much for your response! I was that seller indeed. I packed the coin for shipping, but then a message came from an "eBay expert" advising this coin looks like a fantasy item. I immediately cancelled the order and sent the buyer refund + gratuities. I have to admit that not being an expert in Romans myself, means keeping no extensive library of books and auction catalogues on the subject, I usually screen each coin I sell through the forgery network resources and recent sales, just to make sure there is no obvious issues with it. Before posting this coin, I did the usual search and having found no other examples of this time online I just mark it as "interesting" in my description and raised the price above the typical for the type. Now, looking at your materials, I think I might have been overcautious, which still is better than than being neglectful and careless these days. THANKS A LOT!!! What a relief! BTW, the reverse of my example and that published are different. So, I guess somebody was not exactly right re: scarcity of the left-facing Faustinas <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><a href="https://community.vcoins.com/thecelator/The-Celator-Vol.19-No.04-Apr-2005.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://community.vcoins.com/thecelator/The-Celator-Vol.19-No.04-Apr-2005.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://community.vcoins.com/thecelator/The-Celator-Vol.19-No.04-Apr-2005.pdf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
