I am adding this German seller to the list -- schaffrathnumis

https://www.ebay.com/usr/schaffrathnumis

I don't think that they are knowingly selling fakes, but they currently have a lot of poor cast coins/ fakes for sale. So many fakes, that even if it is a mistake, it is reckless and shows they probably do not care; but maybe they are merely clueless and usually sell modern coinage.

They also have a cast of a Paduan ( C CAESAR DICTATOR/ VENI VIDI VICI) , probably Giovanni Cavino (1500- 1570), which if it was an original strike would be collectible and worth some money, but this is a poor cast.


The last fake is hilarious. It is an impossible combination of Vetranio with a FEL TEMP reverse.  ::)   The galley coinage was never struck by Vetranio and this fake galley looks like it is attempting to copy a Western mintmark, while Vetranio only minted from two mints in the East- Siscia and Thessalonica.
Title: Re: new fake sellers added to list
Post by: Victor on November 08, 2018, 01:51:46 PM

this person claims this fake is "Part of my grandfathers collection."  Maybe he does not know it is fake, but he is also selling some dodgy looking artifacts, also from "grandfathers collection"

https://www.ebay.com/usr/treasuredetector

Title: Re: new fake sellers added to list
Post by: Victor on November 13, 2018, 03:34:11 PM
lots of suspicious looking coins and antiquities.

https://www.ebay.com/usr/aurelius1962

See the fake Otacilia Severa, with several other fakes from the same dies.

He also sells a few coins which he has attributed as reproductions; which means he is definitely getting some fakes and admits it...sometimes.

Sometimes he lists coins which are clearly fake, but he merely says "reproduction??"  see the fake Procopius.


next coin is a Lipanoff fake he sold, with the last picture what it looked like before the fake patina.


It is also interesting, that this person has Norway listed as his country, but when you win an auction, you get this message "Because of the new heavy prices in Norway for registered mail and tracking number mostly of my items are waiting on stock in Bulgaria, where I'm buying them from. In that reason your lot will be shipped from Bulgaria with registered mail and tracking number in secure reasons. If you have any problem with that please let me know and I will start cancel order procedure."

Post by: Roety on November 29, 2018, 10:14:03 PM
how about this one,  looks a little to nice?
I could be wrong,  looking at his sold listing they all look excellent,  shiny (luster) with a little patina, but many are missing the little bumps around the edge
I think they are all very good looking casts.  I hope I'm wrong because people are paying 100s for them, one guy bought well over ten coins from the guy.
Title: Re: new fake sellers added to list
Post by: Victor on November 29, 2018, 10:41:57 PM
There is no such thing as too nice. Many ancient coins are in mint state...a few are even FDC ( French for Fleur de Coin-- the best of the best). If this coin was cast, it would not look so sharp. The best fakes are struck, but I don't see anything obviously suspicious about this coin. Of course, it is really hard to authenticate good fakes from a picture alone...really good fakes fool people in hand.

The most obvious problem with this seller is the worthless COA's he sells.

maybe he does not know that this coin is a fake, or maybe he does not care. This is a known Constans fake, the real thing was struck only in silver.

I have not added him to the fake seller list (yet) but it seems that I was watching this guy in the past, but don't remember for sure now.

I messaged him, but never heard back

This guy has been on eBay since 2014, but I have not noticed him before. Maybe he has only recently begun selling fakes, or I just missed him. Anyway, he has a bunch of junk for sale; though he states they have "been in the family for over 50 years"

a new seller from the UK with what look like Slavey reproductions.

He actually has these marked as replicas in the item specifics, but in the description makes no mention of replica...he states "Very nice and rare roman silver..." So, he is trying to trick people.

this guy -- npk1973

https://www.ebay.com/usr/npk1973

is selling a lot of fakes. He has several groups of bronzes with five culls and in the center what looks like a large bronze in nice condition. He also has several fake silver coins.

I just noticed his name Nikolay Karamanliev and his old eBay ID was red-one73 which was changed from skeletorians. It is the same person as jim5658  vespasiana1981 and rainbowraw. So he is an experienced cheat.

this guy is selling a lot of fakes...a lot of medieval junk. Funny thing, he is selling a few authentic, like the Theodosius GLORIA ROMANORVM (last picture); which is in terrible condition and worth a dollar or two; but he has it starting at 150 GBP/ $194.

maybe this seller doesn't know, or doesn't really care. Some of his coins looked genuine, so maybe just an honest mistake. He did have this posted about the fake EID MAR "Small Denarius possibly made for use in  jewelry, rings etc." So, I am not adding him to the fake seller list, merely making a topic and hopefully I remember to periodically check on him.

this guy has been on eBay since 2002, but I had not noticed him until today; though he is on other lists already--  hermescoins1

https://www.ebay.com/usr/hermescoins1

he currently has several fakes for sale. One is this well-known Theodahad.

Another is a fake Victor campgate that was part of a set that included unusually well made fakes of Hanniballianus, Vetranio, Magnentius, and Aelia Flaccilla.

the last is a flashback to 2003- 2004, to a fake that was part of a large group that started turning up in uncleaned lots with assorted other, noted by their crude style.
