Sileraioi Fake33 viewsSelling (12/2014) on ebay as genuine. Notified seller, here is the response:

I think you are wrong to say smash saw it and related to pedigreee so original, it is still a coin riveted on a litra of Syracuse and if they know some of these examples, I also do research but I can guarantee that this original and over 30 years in a private collection, are in agreement with her in careful coins, and false are all beautiful and derived fusion, look good and this rebound and not very nice, and in any case I guarantee repayment money if it should be a piece handled, excuse me for my wrong English and good day
