<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 786220, member: 6370&quot;]which is why I wanted to see a larger picture. This is the same guy who posted a fake Augustus and when it was pointed out, insisted he has collected ancients for 6 years and can assure us its not fake...when it obviously was. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then he comes to the forum with this coin...you can imagine why I wanted a bigger and better picture to look at it because if it is anything like the Augustus, its probably fake as well...and from what little I can see from what he posted...there are certainly red flags waving in my eyes...If you have an extremely rare and valuable coin you are posting, why post such poor and small pics of it? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I tend to agree with Doug although I don&#039;t think it necessarily needs an expert of that caliber to conclude it is fake if, on closer inspection, it is obvious. If it IS a real find and not a glaring fake...then he WOULD need such expert opinion. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One tactic when it comes to fakes is to post poor photos so the signs are obscured.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t agree we should move on though...if a guy is posting fakes...I want the best pics I can to put on the fakes list to help warn others...this user already has one on the fakes list and I have a feeling with larger pics we would be adding what I think would be the only example of this type of coin on that list as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I encourage him to post more coins and more importantly, better pics of THIS coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
