<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus Maximus, post: 4289021, member: 102867&quot;]This afternoon I searched the internet for auctions and came across something strange.&nbsp; A seller on Catawiki, an auction platform, offers coins that various dealers on vcoins and Ma-Shops still have in stock.&nbsp; I find this quite strange.&nbsp; I have often read that Catawiki does little against scammers, but this is the confirmation for me.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.catawiki.nl/l/35827615-romeinse-rijk-ar-denarius-domitian-ad-81-96-rome-mint-struck-ad-95-6-zilver" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.catawiki.nl/l/35827615-romeinse-rijk-ar-denarius-domitian-ad-81-96-rome-mint-struck-ad-95-6-zilver" rel="nofollow">https://www.catawiki.nl/l/35827615-romeinse-rijk-ar-denarius-domitian-ad-81-96-rome-mint-struck-ad-95-6-zilver</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ma-shops.nl/koelnermuenzkabinett/item.php?id=29871" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ma-shops.nl/koelnermuenzkabinett/item.php?id=29871" rel="nofollow">https://www.ma-shops.nl/koelnermuenzkabinett/item.php?id=29871</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Both coins are exactly the same.&nbsp; The strange thing is that the catawiki seller claims to be from France while the other dealer is Kolner Munzkabinett from Germany.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, it gets even stranger.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.catawiki.nl/l/35839529-romeinse-rijk-ar-denarius-caracalla-ad-198-217-rome-ad-215-zilver" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.catawiki.nl/l/35839529-romeinse-rijk-ar-denarius-caracalla-ad-198-217-rome-ad-215-zilver" rel="nofollow">https://www.catawiki.nl/l/35839529-romeinse-rijk-ar-denarius-caracalla-ad-198-217-rome-ad-215-zilver</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ma-shops.nl/henzen/item.php?id=41107" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ma-shops.nl/henzen/item.php?id=41107" rel="nofollow">https://www.ma-shops.nl/henzen/item.php?id=41107</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Again a coin that is also for sale by another dealer.
