Maybe someone erroneously put dot after 0 instead of before 0. 95.00 would be still rather high price but not insane.

That's a good idea; but if you look at some of his listings, you see similar pricing strategies.




$2000




$900




$350





$300




$350





$400



and many more...ad nauseam

just saw this 2002 US dime in the ancients section.

 

First of all, the seller has problem with attribution.

A ridiculously priced coin on MA shops...I saw this nice VRBS ROMA from Antioch with an "eyes to heavens" bust and was going to buy it until I noticed the price.

this guy thinks that the TF is ΓF...maybe he is right, as he says he is a "professional numismatist" 

I know that you should not make fun of crazy people, but this guy is selling river rocks that he found in Pennsylvania and is claiming that they are ancient coins--  "These coins originate from treasure found in the Susquehanna river. Pribably left by roman soldiers or pirates. various denominations, historical periods, and countries/regions of manufacture."

 



it's hard to tell from his blurry pictures, but these are smooth river rocks.




he definitely has a vivid imagination

But, Victor, of you look closely enough, it's clear. A rarity 88, there It Is.

only $389.40

Here is a new person to eBay. Besides misidentifying a coin from Gallienus as Constantius; he has three typos in the title -- ungaded, Imprhal and ZD




his description is also a bit over the top--

"Discover the Follis Constantius Ungaged Roman Imperial Coin, a tangible piece of history that connects you to the ancient world. Minted during the reign of Emperor Constantius, this coin is a testament to the rich heritage of the Roman Empire, dating back to 27 BC, and bears witness to the transitions of power during the Republic era. Crafted with meticulous detail, this coin is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of ancient numismatics. Its historical significance and the story it carries make it an extraordinary find, offering a unique glimpse into the daily life and governance of the Roman Republic. Add this timeless artifact to your collection and own a fragment of the past."

this guy actually raised the price of this coin (see two posts up)

"Lot of 2 Exceptional EF Silver Siliqua of Constantius II"

They are not siliqua. The second is Valens. They are far from exceptional.
