There's an
eBay seller that I've bought a number of coins, mostly
bulk, uncleaned 3rd and 4th century bronzes, over the past year and a half. He's occasionally
had some 1st and 2nd century silver, and a
byzantine bronze here and there. I'm far from well versed in modern
fakes but I've never suspected him of
selling them.
He's never
had any golds. Until now, when he put up the 3 below. By themselves they look suspicious to me. A little too
well centered, and I think I see some casting bubbles. But taken in the context of
his past offerings it really stands out. He also 'took them down' shortly after posting them which adds to the intrigue.
In any case, looking for your thoughts on what to make of these. The
weights are listed at 1.1 - 1.3g for all of them.
