I saw that one and thought - very wrong - I've got a genuine one and it doesn't look the same.

Mind you, if you were to start on roman coins on eBay, you'd have a list stretching into many pages - last time I did a proper search on the uk site I would say at least 50% of the silvers were fakes


No more bids it sold for £1,000.

Romans has got to be one of the most copied coins, id say there easier to get away with a lot of the Greek being sold I wouldn't trust either.

I spotted this one in a top London auction house, its a known copy of a Anted stater from the Dobunni tribe, a very convincing one to. I contacted the auction house they replied after two days and were very grateful, they had to removed 9 Celtic golds in total and all different types Undecided

There is serious money to be made from forgeries. If there are no strict controls, and the sentencing is lenient, then I guess the unscrupulous will always consider the risks worth taking. In bygone days the forger could have been sentenced to death. In 2009 you could get just 6 months for selling forgeries!!

I think I might have seen that one on numisbids (allows you to search multiple auction sites) - if it was that one, then it was an auction house that should have known better - although tbh as celtic isn't really my area, then I wouldn't have necessarily known....

And here's a Trevor Ashmore copy of a Corio quarter stater I never realised he did Celtic coins I thought it was just Saxon.

Yes, Dale - I found it again - as I was looking at one of the coins that was withdrawn - I think a lot of these coins are a lot easier to spot in hand than from photos - I had thought the one I was looking at (although I'd no intention of bidding on it) was a bit plastic......
