This guy has a fibula in his listing.... I have absolutely no intention of bidding, but I am curious, given that almost all his listed coins are obvious fakes, what are the thoughts on the authenticity of it?
( I already have a couple of nice ones in my cabinet of old and interesting things +++ )

I am just curious.... I'm sure there must be a market for fake fibulae, but I really don't have the knowledge to spot one ... ( Know the ancient artifact or know the dealer applies :laugh: )

Just a request for a little insight into the modus operandi of a NFSL ...

Lee S.
