I've worked up the courage to participate with this light hearted picture
of me trying to decide where to spend my ancient coin money
It’s interesting because even as a fake I cannot really put it in one of the fake owl categories/types that already exist.
I don’t see him on the NFSL ?

I was puzzled by that too until I realised that Vincent is referring to Spantiquities (Svilen Stoyanov), the seller on eBay, being listed as a seller of fakes on AncientArtifacts rather than on the NFSL. I've checked the seller's other ancient coins which confirms Din's comments that the "seller has some cheap authentic coins too like many fake sellers, who mix authentic coins in to make the fakes look more reliable." The only antidote to this chicanery is to buy authentic coins from a reputable dealer such as the FORVM. Another problem I face are authentic coins misattributed by other dealers whether intentional or unintentional I don’t know.
