Strange and rare Gela coin.

Matias, not doubting you at all.

What an amazing coincidence that the coin on ebay and your coin have had the photo taken on the same colour cloth background, with exactly the same weave in the cloth, and the coin at exactly the same orientation, and both you and the guy who took the ebay photos also decided to put a little camera icon in the bottom right hand corner of the picture  ;D

I guess the one on ebay must have been bought from the same person in Barcelona, and that the Barcelona seller gives away a free piece of cloth and integrated camera icon with every cast!  ;)

CANTANATRIX:
Someone paid over 30 Euros for it. Oh dear.

Methinks maybe Matias thought he had found a bargain on ebay and wanted to keep us in the dark be 4 it ended lol

Rupert:
That's possible, and would be - I think - a not extremely noble but legitimate behaviour in order not to spoil his chances. If the piece were real and he had said "This coin ends on Ebay tomorrow" and five members of this board had competed for it, he would have bitten his own - er - somewhere afterwards.

BTW, here's the real thing:
