<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3458346, member: 44316"]The negative comments above about the CFDL are about it as it was many years ago. I don't think they are correct about the current CFDL. The founder has not been active for many years. The rest of us (I am a member and contributor) mostly expose criminal dealers who are selling obvious fakes, sometimes among genuine coins of lesser value. They can then be put on fakesellers lists and beginners warned against them. There are occasionally questions about coins that are not false, but it has been years since that resulted in an unthinking condemnation. Don't think the CFDL spots very deceptive fakes--that is not easy from photos alone. But, if a new seller offers some valuable coins going inexpensively and you wonder if you have just stumbled on a chance for a remarkable bargain, the CFDL may have already discussed that seller. It would certainly be worth checking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
