<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2178099, member: 36230"]If from a private individual (and I assume it was) found via an ad, may I ask why you were considering dealing with them over finding a dealer? I ask for one simple reason: if cost/money, this is EXACTLY what these people are casting their nets hoping to snag. There are, unfortunately, a LOT of people out there actively searching for buyers, perhaps new or without the experience needed to navigate this chum field, focused on getting that "deal" they just can't resist. This isn't just for counterfeits, but problem, altered, etc, etc material as well, so while I mean no offense in saying this, if you're not confident in your abilities to properly attribute/identify coins offered you, and do so understanding that if wrong, whatever funds spent will likely be gone, I would respectfully suggest sticking with trustworthy sources until you are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
