[QUOTE="Fabrosee, post: 7520528, member: 119073"]Hello all, Quick little story: I bid on some Ancient Greek/Roman coins on an auction within the Live Auction World site with a newer auctioneer called Super Auction Gallery based out of Pakistan. I won a few coins and finally received them...they were very nice and my initial feeling of anxiety was going down (new auctioneer, bad communication & the too good to be true maxim). Until I noticed one of the main coins I had won did not have a crack I had been expecting from the auction pictures. After investigating for a bit, I found that Super Auction Gallery gets their coin items from Coinlandia (a very good replica maker in Bulgaria) and does not disclose that they are replicas. I could go on Etsy or directly to the Coinlandia.net site and purchase all their same replica coins for much less than I had paid in the auction. They are excellent replicas and fooled me initially when I first received them and started examining them. They have another auction with "Rare" ancient coins starting on May 15th on icollector.com and I just wanted to put the word out to keep anyone else from having to take a hit like I took. I let Live Auction world know what I found and so far they are ignoring me which gives me a bit more hesitation on using their site.
