<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 7543164, member: 31620&quot;]We can report to ebay and I have. This has very little impact on them. These tend to be false accounts purporting to be in the United Kingdom / France but are in fact based in the Balkans from where everything is shipped. Identifying themselves as being in Bulgaria is too much of a red flag. The are closed down and pop up with a new account within minutes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the statement above about these being Chinese I believe them to be of Bulgarian origin, which would follow previous experiences.</p><p><br /></p><p>Previously I tracked sets of &quot;silver&quot; denarii from Bulgaria. Now they have gone for bronze (Limes / LRB) where some of the manufacturing sins are almost the norm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Limes denarii are typically soft looking and are cast anyway so as a single item it is harder to spot a fake Limes when taken out of the context of the other fakes. They have created Limes of Matidia, Nero, Vespasian, Titus, Trajan, Septimius Severus, Julia Domna, Geta, Severus Alexander etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coins seem to spread across the entire range of the Imperial spectrum Tacitus, Probus, Votives, FTR, IOVI...., GENIO... on to Arcadius.</p><p><br /></p><p>If people are interested then I will add some of the images here as I process them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will be adding them to the Forvm Fake reports for the long term too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
