Salve Patrik,
I will side with you on this matter, as an amateur archaeologist working with the professionals our sites have been plagued by the unscrupulous, destroying our digs, corrupting our data. It is good to caution would be collectors on the darker sides of the trade in coins and other artifacts. The coin itself is a beauty and I applaud you taking the kindness of identifying it in such a knowledgeable manner.
Drew, welcome to the forum and don't forget to add you real name to your signature as well. May you gain great insight and knowledge, there are many here who will help you in that.
