    Be careful buying coins on ebay, friends - there are some awfully convincing fakes out there and we've all bought at least one. When in doubt, check the Fake Coins database at ForumAncientCoins.com or ask the nice folks at reddit.com/r/ancientcoins, they're a helpful bunch and got me started in numismatics.
