No announcement yet.
I just ran across this on the Bay and wanted opinions if it authentic or not? My Gut says no?

Very difficult to find an authentic Clovis on eBay. Not absolutely impossible, I know of one seller who is on the up and up. And certain COA's are automatic red flags at this point.Rhode Island

Anyone selling a G-10 Clovis for that price and that lithic is addled in the head severely, if it’s authentic...I’m guessing it’s not.Wandering wherever I can, mostly in Eastern Arkansas, always looking down.

We normally don’t discuss values here, but an authentic, ancient version of that would would easily sell for $15,000+ as it would simply one of the finest Ohio Clovis points ever found. As an example of modern knapping it’s still probably worth $200+.
That particular type of Flint Ridge comes from the Nethers farm, and cooks at a specific temp to bring out those colors like that. Usually takes an electric kiln to balance out the heat so you get the red to pop without over-cooking the rock.Hong Kong, but from Indiana/Florida

Honestly the more I thought about it, That is really Sad. I always associated collecting Points as something fun to do with my dad and my kids way back when. Not dishonest people who are in it just to make a buck.

Wow just looked at the final Bid price, I know it is just ink on paper but does everything that guy does a repro / fake? Or does he just Coa everything real or not. Man you could buy a lot of really nice authentic points for that price, I bet the only reason it sold for that price, was because of the Coa?

It likely sold for whatever the price was because there are people who want to have something of great value and don’t know how to tell if it’s actually real or not, so they throw money at it. It’s a beautiful point. It’s a once in a lifetime point, if it were real.

Finding points are like what you just said . Memories . To me finding or having a point is half the fun or maybe more . Who were you were or with , the conditions , your condition lol . Then you see it start shaking .. alas you have an artifact . Unless you get beautiful one in the mail from a friend .
