<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 356305, member: 12965&quot;]<font face="Arial"><font size="2">It will not continue unabated if I am wrong. If I am wrong, I will have the title amended but the thread is still a good thread for educational purposes in many ways. </font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">One, this can be used as a guide to help others to determine if a coin is real or a counterfeit, regardless if the coin is real or a counterfeit. </font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">Two, others who read it will learn not to title a thread with a &quot;factual&quot; look to it if there&#039;s room for doubt, even though that which comes out of our mouths (spoken/written/thought) is usually nothing more than opinion based on our attained knowledge up to that point in our lives, unless undeniable proof is pro-offered, and the need to state the obvious is only required for those who are unaware of this fact but I will use words such as you suggested (IMO) so as to reduce the possibility of anyone mistaking my words as being fact and not opinion. I watched a tv program the other day, where this guy kept saying to the police officer - &quot;You are a #^%&amp;%#% in my opinion.&quot; Then he went on to say - &quot;As long as I say it&#039;s my opinion, you can&#039;t do anything about it.&quot; To say it&#039;s his opinion is obvious but by saying that doesn&#039;t make him/me/you/us less wrong when we are wrong, the only thing that does is give us an excuse to fall back on when we are wrong, which some seem to need so as to not have to admit they were wrong. I&#039;ll admit when I am wrong and I&#039;ve done that before and I will do it again here when NCS says the coin is legit.</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">As to harming the seller, if it is a legit coin, he gets lots of traffic to his store (free advertising) but if it is a counterfeit, he will get what&#039;s coming to him and I say that because of his reaction to my message to him concerning his coin. In that message (his reply), he didn&#039;t pro-offer the fact he sent the coin to NCS, therefore, the probability is he bought it already slabbed and doesn&#039;t know for a fact if it&#039;s real or not, he just has his opinion. If I were to buy a coin like that, I&#039;d want proof it&#039;s real and anyone who&#039;s had a coin slabbed, knows that is obtainable (slabs alone are not proof) but the counterfeitors just slab the coins and don&#039;t &quot;complete&quot; the full process (should be understood by anyone who&#039;s had a coin slabbed before - will not spell it out for the wrong people to read).</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">So, I must ask, what will you do if NCS comes back and says the coin and holder are counterfeits? You are now faced with the same dilemma I face and all because we each have an opinion but we all have opinions and I understand this and try not to get mad at anyone who thinks differently than I, because I know it&#039;s possible for me to be wrong but do you know this about yourself?</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><br /></font></font></p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
