<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7296205, member: 86498&quot;]I did look at the Triton XVII lot 120 and yes it does look like a coin with matching obverse and reverse dies. It is possible that this is &quot;mom&quot; and her fraudulent children were distressed so to perhaps escape closer scrutiny. To svessiens point about liability. I have checked the fine print from 4 auction houses. All state a guarantee of authenticity. However and I will quote only CNG as all of them make similar statements <span style="color: #ff0000">Attribution, date, condition and other descriptions are the opinion of the cataloguer and NO warranty is expressed or implied.&nbsp; Article 3 in the Terms of Sale, Triton XXI</span> I am not a lawyer but it does look to me that it is up to the buyer to make certain that what he is purchasing is what he wants.</p><p>Further adventures in pedigrees</p><p>Aulus Galbinius Ar tetradrachm Antioch 57-55 BC In the name and types of Philip Philadelphos.

When I looked it up it was a no show.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Oddly some of the other coins consigned by this collector were accurately labeled. Thus I decided to search some of the other Berk lists and I found it. I seem to remember it was in the same year but a different auction.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So I bought the coin.
