Valentinian II, Theodosius I, and Honorius fakes again
« on: September 05, 2007, 08:32:05 am »
eBay seller lucarositobia2007 has set a new record by selling the well-known fake solidi of Valentinian II, Theodosius I, and Honorius all at the same time!  He has been informed.  I'm late for work and will post photos later.

Here are the coins. You'll notice that these are exactly the same photos that were used to sell these (or similar) coins on eBay in August (the same seller, too; see my post in the "fake sellers" thread right at the top).  The August coins were sold.

Here's the last.  I won't bother filing new reports, I'll just add them to my previous reports.

Nice of him to give us his trade name "POMPEIANTIQUES "  :laugh:  Another addition to the fake sellers list (its not registered on ebay)?

He sells under the name lucarositobia2007.  And I was trying to protect his reputation!  Pointless now, though.
