<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 7976081, member: 31620"]Every now and then I post something here about another batch of fakes that I have stumbled across that I feel deserve to be brought to your attention. This is typically when I find a batch that contains a number that I haven't found in the standard Fake Reports. I am in the middle of loading up all these (and many more) to the Forvm Fake reports.</p><p><br /></p><p>This ebay seller is on the Forvm NFSL, which is a red flag straight away and one that I generally don't pay any notice to but saw a coin that caught my attention before I looked twice at it....</p><p><br /></p><p>An eastern Septimius Severus, COS II, Mars issue turned up on one of my search lists.

[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 7976081, member: 31620"]Every now and then I post something here about another batch of fakes that I have stumbled across that I feel deserve to be brought to your attention. This is typically when I find a batch that contains a number that I haven't found in the standard Fake Reports. I am in the middle of loading up all these (and many more) to the Forvm Fake reports. This ebay seller is on the Forvm NFSL, which is a red flag straight away and one that I generally don't pay any notice to but saw a coin that caught my attention before I looked twice at it.... An eastern Septimius Severus, COS II, Mars issue turned up on one of my search lists. I hadn't looked who was selling but the general look of the surfaces and the probable remain of the casting sprue made me look at the other offerings more closely.
