[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2252921, member: 72818"]I'd DEFINITELY be wary of that coin since denarii of that 'Drusus' are rather scarce and pricey, even in that apparent grade---and placing it on 'bid' and not 'best offer' makes me even more suspicious. And then there's the 'e-Bay factor itself. I have an example of both known to history as 'Drusus'---one was the brother of Tiberius and the other the son of Tiberius (bronzes); the offered silver coin is supposed to be the former and is listed conservatively as 'fine', with legends too good to be true and a 'something is way off' portrait. I'd go with 'V's advice........and one at acsearch worth about a thousand dollars!!! Obviously a FAKE!!----- as presented on E-Bay!!! [ATTACH=full]445943[/ATTACH] EDIT: Here's the acsearch link http://[URL='http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=608602']www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=608602[/URL][/QUOTE]
