<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 3579388, member: 74282"]If you hadn't come here and asked us first you'd have probably bought the coin and then happily left positive feedback once you received it. It's extremely unlikely that a new collector who buys a fake will realize it's a fake once they get it in hand because they don't have the experience necessary to recognize that. That's exactly how they have such good feedback.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd recommend sticking to Vcoins or some of the big auction sites that guarantee authenticity over eBay. Those fakeseller lists can feel like a good safety measure but they're not exhaustive as they require someone actually report the sellers which often doesn't happen until they've been selling for a bit. They also rarely include the name of the sellers who sell mostly good coins but still sell far too many tooled or fake coins here and there(sellers like Lanz). The sellers can also change their names at any time so they may not match what's on the list.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
