<p>[QUOTE="Dillan, post: 3704015, member: 90539"]The young man mentioned that his father was a smuggler of coins , and a seller to those wishing to buy. The young fellow is following in his fathers footsteps so to say. I am venturing a guess that it may be hard to survive in Turkey with all of the unrest so people are doing what ever it takes to be able to survive . So can a person fault someone for trying to make a buck to eat ? I say no , as long as you do not hurt others along the way . Hurting people , by taking some of their money , so you could survive , may be out of desperation , that I can kind of understand . Unless a person can really tell who is scripting the thread , there is far to many unknowns to think otherwise . The fakes are starting to ruin this hobby , and not only will the new comers get scared off , everyone is going to be second guessing every ancient coin they search out to buy . Good deals will get over looked because the quality of the forgers , and the potential buyer scared on losing his hobby funds. This can now be copied and made to precision with the proper equipment that even the pros will be second guessing their decisions . I suspect that over time there will be more and more fakes found slabbed by the pros that get by because of the quality of the fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
