Nigrinian, just a warning.

Take care, now on ebay 3 Nigrinian modern fakes, they are well made looking ancient.
Sellers from UK with 100% feedback, another from Bulgary.

I hope this is helpful

Are the fakes in the fake coin reports?

Are the sellers on the Notorious Fake Seller List?

Would be if you actually post the coins (as by the rules)  so people can  see  them and discuss if/why - [quote''they are well made looking ancient'' ].
Other than that it is a known fact-  there are plenty of fakes on E bay . I am afraid - this is not a helpful post .

The sellers should be considered for NFSL nominations.

Not being a collector of these types.....

The top coin is not what I would consider a "good" (sorry Joe, I know you hate that term) fake...maybe "convincing" is a better term.

But what about the second one makes you feel it's a fake?  If it truly is fake, the maker sure went through a lot of trouble to "age" it.

The one that is heavily encrusted; what is it about the style that has you concerned?

Style is very difficult to put into words.

Compare this genuine one with the fake. Do you see the difference in style D.J ?
