I have been going over my collection and found some fakes I had collected early on in my collecting days. I hope these are not additional fakes but I'll put them out to more eyes thanks.

Why do you suspect these?  I don't see anything that jumps out, they just look like typical worn Flavian coins.  Are you seeing something in hand?

They don't look suspicious at all.

I've heard so much about ebay and these two are ebay coins just wanted a second set of eyes thank you for confirming what I thought. I consider them true, but just second guessed myself. I can find a glaring fake but a good fake I still have a time with. so no more ebay.

There are good sellers on ebay and bad sellers on ebay. I have gotten some of my best deals on ebay -- some from Forum itself. I get rather disgusted with some of the "beware of fleabay" nonsense out there, lumping all ebay sellers together as though they were all crooks. Some are, most aren't (some of the most reputable dealers I know of have listings on ebay and many of the smaller sellers are members of this board). One simply has to know from whom one is buying and also know what one is buying. In short, be knowledgeable and careful -- as with everything else.

The coins look worn but OK to me.

Purchase from reliable dealers and you really have nothing to worry about. A lot of the reliable dealers sell on ebay too.
