The upcoming Goldberg auction had a lot I was interested in, a Trajan aureus, but they just pulled it yesterday as someone brought it to their attention that it wasn't genuine.
It certainly fooled me. I've included the pictures here in case anyone is curious. I suppose I don't feel that bad as they spent the time cataloging it and sounded enthusiastic in their descriptions, but it was surprising to see it pulled this late (the auction is on Tuesday), and I for one am impressed at the quality of it:

I love this variety, and it hasn't come up for sale in the last several years, so I was looking forward to it, ideally to pair with an aureus of Trajan's Forum. I seem to have a bad track record of liking pieces which end up getting pulled - I was getting geared up to bid heavily on a Mysia Lampsakos Zeus Stater which was a featured coin at Heritage last year and they pulled that one as well. I think the point to take away from this is that you shouldn't show me images of any coins you'd like to sell as they'll instantly become counterfeit
