<p>[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 2716282, member: 86815"]Well that is a fantastic link thank you Doug. When I collected British milled coins decades ago I visited the dealer, drank tea and coffee and formed a relationship. The only problem was later when some dealers would downgrade conditions to improve their deal. I used to buy coins in Toronto at the Eaton Centre department store because British was "foreign" and I could make great finds and no question of fakes as they weren't genuinely interested in them and simply wanted to unload them. Of course the Internet has shrunk the world and I hear what you say, if its too good to be true it usually isn't but the people palming off these things know that and the prices are not so inexpensive to raise concern. Clearly a Nero Denarius in great condition at $150 has a major red flag over it but a well worn coin with a few flaws at $300 changes emphasis somewhat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
