<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3535289, member: 96864&quot;]Well that&#039;s spooky, I saw the &quot;exact same&quot; coin on eBay last October (<a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/ancient-Roman-coin-/273497983375" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/ancient-Roman-coin-/273497983375" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/ancient-Roman-coin-/273497983375</a>) and had searched numismatic auction results and found one which was identical (maybe the one you bought), assuming that it was one singular coin and for some reason the coin was being sold-off again. Here&#039;s an obverse pic I was able to salvage from the listing:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]939641[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The thought that it was a fake didn&#039;t cross my mind, I thought it looked pretty legit and that whoever won it for EUR 348.89 got a good deal. Clearly I should stay away from such coins until I learn more and stick to obscure Greeks that no one really cares enough about to fake in quantity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if Lanz actively collaborates with forgery workshops to salt his offerings with highly profitable garbage?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
