For once I totally agree with little brother.

 

Simply put "Roman Imperio Sestertius" in advanced search and check mark title/description and it will appear. I dont wanna link to a possible fake.

 

Be careful of this seller. He's on FORVM's NFSL. Unless you really know what you're doing, avoid him. The problem is, he's got some coins that look original, others are shifty at best.

 

I take it back. Everything he's got up for auction at the moment looks damn fishy to me, even the common follis of Constantine.

 

Ah, I see why the Constantine was faked - it's Constantine I as Caesar, GENIO POPVLI ROMANI type, a rare coin. But it's the most gawd-awful fake I've ever seen - it's like they didn't even try.

I have no problem calling out a fraud. Take a look friends, this is what ancient coins are NOT supposed to look like...

Thanks for the feedback and info...I must admit there is something 'off' about the coin and he has another---a Nero Sestertius---that normally hits over $100 easy in the general condition depicted...but there's something off about that one too...yet the bidding is up to $61.00 for the Nero and usually jumps the last few hours...I sent the seller a request for further details regarding both, but have yet to hear from him...

 

I hate ebay....jus sayin'.

 

There are plenty of good coins on eBay, and plenty of fakes. Caveat emptor.

 

Flea-bay.
