<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3264363, member: 44316&quot;]As has been often said on this forum, some images enough to be sure&nbsp; coin is fake, but images are not enough to be certain a coin is genuine. However, most fakes can be detected with good images. Looking at a seller&#039;s other auctions is a very good idea. If any are fake, the seller is best avoided.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, many sellers have genuine coins they wish to sell. If they go through a dealer, the dealer must take a good-sized cut. If the seller wants to avoid that, what option is there besides eBay?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, some serious dealers sell on eBay. Some hold back their best coins for major auctions, but sell coins worth up to hundreds of dollars on eBay. So, eBay sales must be considered with caution, but are not always bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting back to the worn [EDIT: Commodus] coin (of which only the obverse was shown), I see nothing to suggest it is not ancient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
