<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 862506, member: 19409&quot;]I&#039;m going to have to stop you there.&nbsp; Someone&#039;s Ebay rating is <i>not</i> a good indication if they&#039;re selling legitimate coins.&nbsp; Those who know enough about ancient coins simply don&#039;t bid on auctions for fake coins.&nbsp; If one doesn&#039;t buy the coin, one can&#039;t give a negative rating.&nbsp; This means most sellers of fakes actually have very good ratings on Ebay.&nbsp; The best way to check is to ask around with experienced collectors to see who&#039;s good, and to make sure that they&#039;re not on <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0" rel="nofollow">this list</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, both coins you listed are from sellers who obviously don&#039;t specialize in ancients, which means they probably would have no idea if they had a fake on their hands.&nbsp; In fact, both of those look wrong to me, though I&#039;m not a collector of Greek coins, so I can&#039;t give a definitive answer right now.&nbsp; In any case, I would stay away from both auctions unless you find someone who knows these coins well enough to really give you some assurance of authenticity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
