[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3255026, member: 85693"]Great thread, [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/members/numisnewbiest.99613/']Numisnewbiest[/URL] - I admire your candor. Mostly I look for poorly-described and photographed coins on eBay and I get burnt from time to time. But I avoid 12 caesars, tribute pennies, and owls, since they are so often faked I figure I'll get nailed. But I get burnt. This isn't ancient, but I recently bought some world stuff from my trusted local dealer from his junk bins. He'd refund my money in a moment, but I am not sure I want to bother embarrassing him - I've known him for 30+ years and he is a straight-up dealer. I hope it is okay to post here, despite being off topic, but can any of you spot the fake in this lot?
