[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7651922, member: 118780"]I do apologize for jumping the gun here. The following was my thought process in casting doubt on this auction. - Several other members cast doubt on the authenticity of multiple coins - The auction is based in Estonia - This is a new auction house - The business was registered as an LLC in Serbia 6 months ago - Two coins I am familiar with have irregularities - The business owner was arrested for money laundering in antiques last year, though he was cleared. The above facts led me to cast doubt on the entire auction. Clearly, though, we should look past small trifles such as arrests, and instead fall back to the extreme respect Serbian businesses have in the ancient coin trade. Therefore, my conclusions truly must have been ridiculous as you have said. It also appears that I was incorrect in disputing the validity of these coins' provenance. Therefore, there certainly cannot be anything amiss with this auction, as their lengthy numismatic history and integrity are without parallel.[/QUOTE]
