[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 708660, member: 6463"]Caveat emptor. Either you learn how to grade the coin and determine its authenticity on your own or you rely on the dealers expertise. You cant have it both ways. There are hundreds of threads on here about how people just throw down hard earned money without having a clue about what they are buying. If you want to buy pre civil war gold, buy the book, learn how to grade and read up on how to detect a fake. Arm yourself with knowledege. Personally, I only purchase certified pre civil war gold for authenticity reasons. If you buy it and submit it ..but take responsibilty for the purchase and your lack of experience with this coin series. Ofcourse, if its fake, I'd take it back to show the dealer but to make him promise to take it back and compensate you for the slabbing fee is unreasonable and offensive in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
