17 years ago, a bunch of fakes started showing up in uncleaned lots. These fakes were so terrible looking, the style was permanently burned into my brain  :). They were very crude and by themselves would not fool many; which is why they were mainly mixed into uncleaned groups. This seller from Spain currently has some for sale.           lolita.b-55

It looks like this seller is listing some fakes. He also has private feedback and one feedback for selling a fake. I am not sure about the Augustus coin though.

this person has some fake biblical themed coins for sale. I have messaged them...though I expect they will not believe me or not care, especially as they have an opening bid of $500 for one of the fakes.    jennfon-40

and surprise, they not only ignored me completely, but even relisted one...see last picture. So definitely a crook.

this guy from Thailand calls himself cng_coins. He even claims to have the original letter from 1634 describing when this Julius Caesar coin was found.

this guy is selling cheap reproductions -- uniqueeglasgow

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

he has stories how he got them like "Picked up in a box of coins in Macedonia recently." or "I picked this up in a box of coins from a flea market in a recent trip to the Balkans."  and usually says something like "I don't know much about it, it could be Roman or Greek"

this seller has some poor fakes. he changes his user ID frequently, probably because he has received a few negative feedbacks.
