<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3573366, member: 19463"]The point is not just the effect on the person who breaks the unwritten rule but on the one who is sitting there sweating out the last minute bidding that will take the coin away. That is just part of the game. What we don't like is drawing attention to one specific lot. It is fine to say, 'CNG has some nice coins' but not 'Look at lot xxxx going cheap.' Similarly we don't need posts saying, 'That lot Kentucky is selling looks fake to me'. If we see a fake, it needs to be reported to the seller/auction house. That is why some of us support the rule over on Forvm:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18946.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18946.0" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18946.0</a></p><p>My favorite line is,"If you disagree with this post, I suggest you read it again until you understand it." Coin Talk is more friendly and we don't have as many experts (real or imagined) but we still need to evaluate the effect of what we do when we yell 'Fake'.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
