All sellers on Vcoins follow a strict code of ethics which means most have a lifetime assurance that it is real or money back.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Each VCoins dealer pledges the following: </p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i> <ol> <li><b>I will not knowingly deal in counterfeits, copies, or reproductions without full and clear description of their nature. I will never knowingly represent such items as genuine. </b></li> <li><b>I will not knowingly deal in stolen numismatic items. I will report such items to the proper authorities if they are offered to me. </b></li> <li><b>I will vouch for the authenticity of items I sell and will have no time limit on the return of items discovered to be non-authentic. I will offer a full cash refund upon return of any such item, including the cost of return shipping. </b></li> <li>I will explicitly state my terms and conditions of sale in my e-store.</li> <li>I will not intentionally misrepresent items I sell, including the use of misleading images, historical conjecture, unsubstantiated provenance or pedigree, or other tactics that may artificially inflate the perceived value of an item.</li> <li>I will operate in a fair and honorable manner, and will not intentionally defame the character of my competitors or the quality of their products.</li> </ol><p></i>and many have been around for a long time, they will not ruin reputations and business by selling a fake or not making good if it is found to be fake.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>if you want to authenticate the coin, your best bet for ancients IMO is David Sears but there are others as well:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.davidrsear.com/certification.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidrsear.com/certification.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidrsear.com/certification.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also his book would be the best and most thorough on the subject I would think, not cheap but then neither are gold byzantine coins :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.davidrsear.com/byzantine_coins.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidrsear.com/byzantine_coins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidrsear.com/byzantine_coins.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
