<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8132390, member: 19463&quot;]Errors are not a problem. We all make errors. The problem comes when those errors are not handled properly.&nbsp; If someone of my level reports a fake, I do not expect the big guys to believe me without checking but the deal breaker is when a house does not take down the fake after proper investigation.&nbsp; It would be interesting to know how many &#039;its fake&#039; notes a big house gets on the average sale and the number of those that are incorrect.&nbsp; I don&#039;t read many auction catalogs (most dropped me for good reason when I retired to fixed income in 2003).&nbsp; I don&#039;t &#039;report&#039; a coin unless I am 110% certain I am right.&nbsp; So far, I have had a good percentage of reports taken seriously.&nbsp; It has been a couple years since I reported this one.&nbsp; I do wonder what the consignor did with the coin.&nbsp; Was it sent to another house that didn&#039;t see its obvious problem either?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416582[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>What is the &#039;proper&#039; thing for an auction to do with such coins?&nbsp; They can&#039;t very well confiscate the property but returning it will often result in it being sent to another dealer.&nbsp; It would be good if there were a secret dealer network on which they could post fakes they rejected and names of the consigners. Maybe there is.&nbsp; I would not know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
