To me it looks suspicious but I am not sure . it contains elements of both greek and roman coinage.. so I assume its a Greek coin from a province under Roman rule. Not too keen on this type of coinage- if its real or not. Any help would be great. Any die of forgeries going around that looks like this?
what about the other coins of this seller? \ https://www.ebay.com/sch/theantiquemerchant/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
You aren't the first person to say that but ya know, speaking from experience I don't know how true that is ive bought things from sellers that don't accept returns and they were all confirmed genuine coins by several experts.. some people just don't want to be bothered returning things on the other hand ive seen fake sellers do accept returns( they just will come up with an excuse NOT to)
ok. but doesntr this other coin look suspicious? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ancient-Gr...h=item4b5726188a:g:3VkAAOSwUm5cCF9d:rk:2:pf:0 the patina- and the powdery aura around the portrait looks fake to me and doesn't the reverse look Carthaginian but the reverse almost looks like a modern US coin( almost like statue of liberty lol? I def don't trust this. I know sometimes peoplemake mistakes( even the most trudsted sellersa) but I have a feeling like this guy is selling these fakes intentionally.
Know the coin or know the dealer... I PM'd you a list of dealers on Vcoins with inexpensive genuine coins. Until you develop an eye for genuine coins stick to recommended dealers.
I contacted this seller and he appears to be doing it intentionally. He might need to be added to the fake ebay seller list- maybe.
yeah I contacted him and mentioned about some of his items. his attitude suggested he was def doing it intentionally.
