Yes, I think that was actually what he said, that he would make it clear when coins had artificial patinas. I don't ever look at his stock, except when something pops up in a search.

maybe worth $500 if it was Constantius II instead of Gratian.
In his defense, the flip is for Constantius II.

this guy has several really nice coins listed on eBay, however if you read his description--
"Note: this is nit [sic] the exact coin you will receive. The coin will be on F-VF grade!!!"
he currently has 2-3 other similar listings.

it might seem expensive with a buy it now of $6,340; but "10% of the sale of this item will benefit World Museum of Mining"
this allows the seller to advertise his listing as benefitting a charity
it is also an "Official eBay for Charity listing"

This isn't a ridiculous listing, but ridiculous bidding. You see this far too often-- bidding wars. This coin sold for $75, mainly due to "1918" who bid 20 times!
pro tip- bid once and walk away.

it's a fake; but 10% is going to the Red Cross
it's becoming more common for crooks on eBay to advertise that a percentage of the sale will go to a charity.

$1,400 might seem expensive, but according to the listing, it is "Impossible to find"

Seems like a never ending opportunity. With enough patience the opportunity comes along to buy it in silver and bronze too!
I notified Jean Elsen they were selling one of these back in December, and they promptly removed it.

it's sad that an experienced auction company would offer this fake.

same coin listed twice with different prices
he has the same description for each, so its not a wrong picture for one listing.
