I think it depends. If you tell me a coin is genuine as a mere observation, then yes, the burden of proof is expected to be on you to tell us why...
Great quarter! I like that the toning is even and not splotchy. Guy~
Thats where "deals" are, with people. There are no deals on EBay. Most of that stuff is garbage, and with as many EBay threads as we see around...
I agree. In fact, I spend much of my hobby time reading about coins, versus buying them. I suppose what I meant was eye appeal is important, but...
A lot of these scenarios play out as if coin collecting is a job instead of a hobby. Granted, for some it is a job, and more than likely they...
