Thrace, Abdera - griffin tetradrachm fake
This is posted on eBay by the seller, "tarifsam," who notes in his listing that "you are bidding upon a Guaranteed Genuine coin!" Guaranteed genuine coin is meaningless unless it carries the modifer "ancient," which his listing does not stipulate. Quite wormy...
Tarifsam "coin" is noted as being 13gms and 23mm. Note how similar the tarifsam coin is to one posted by Bill P. to the "Other Forgeries" section of the Gallery (immediately below).  Jeff |

Does it do any good to report him to eBay? Probably not....

Nope. eBay is worthless when it comes to enforcement.
The best tool we have against the fakers, frauds, and unware distributors is to post their "coins" here so people can refer to them when considering any online purchase. Jeff |
