The seller here, Mr Mir,  obviously didn't like us here telling the truth about his fakes.
He thought he could deal with the situation by changing his ID on eBay !

I have heard from a collector who has bought something from this man. It is very definitely a fairly well made fake. He is proposing to return it for a full refund but is also going to take action to get this seller looked into by the approprtiate authorities.

Hi,

I think the Roman coin is a denarius of Domitian actually.
Might be genuine but is of low value in that condition.

The other coin ring with the Thrace/Thasos stater is surely not a genuine coin.
It would be crazy to put a genuine example into such a ring.

Jerry.

The setting (band) is certainly not Roman, and is dateable to the post-medieval/early modern period. Into this setting was inserted a Roman coin which looks like Vespasian, but don't quote me. No idea if the coin is genuine. Don't know why anyone would take the time to fabricate such a low-value item, but anything is possible.

Does this clarify?

Thanks everyone! Not sure about the comment on the coin ring. Are you saying if it's not a real coin, it's from the 17th - 19th century? And if it is a real coin, then it is from an earlier time? How do you know the coin and ring are from different periods?
Thanks again everyone.
