Coins don't look right to me, but I'm relatively new to ancients. What do you think? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.es/ulk/itm/293102727142
Try googling the seller's name first. They're listed on multiple fakeseller lists. If you're new to ancients eBay is about the worst place you can shop especially if you're looking at coins of more in-demand(and thus commonly faked) emperors like Galba.
Thanks. Tried looking them up on the forum's notorious fake sellers list but doesn't look to be listed. Maybe on other lists?
Blatant fakes, as others have said. This seller is on the FAC list. Perhaps the first letter of the seller name is misled you? I can't tell if the letter is a capital i or a lower case L so I had to look in both places on the fakes list (FAC thinks the first letter is an L). On Warren Esty's fakesellers list the seller was listed as beginning with a capital i:
It is, for some years now. Its gotten to the point I dont even bother to bid in Spanish auctions any more.
Antiquities as well, and some of their fake Iberian bronzes are exceptionally deceptive so one must be very careful buying from Spanish sources regardless of what it is. That said, their weak economy means genuine articles can be obtained relatively inexpensively from salt-o-the-earth detectorists and honest dealers but it's a real minefield there.
