<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1913448, member: 19463&quot;]As a general rule, I would suggest following the steps below when having suspicions on a VCoin listing:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Ask the dealer.&nbsp; Send links both to his coin and to any supporting evidence that explains why you suspect the coin.&nbsp; If the coin just makes you feel funny and you are not a specialist in the matter, I suspect you will not be correct a percentage of the time.&nbsp; Don&#039;t start witch hunts but do report situations like the one here where you are certain.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; If you get no satisfactory reply or if you have found a number of &#039;bad&#039; coins in the stock of one dealer (for example if a dealer has several lots that match the known name brand (Slavei, Toronto etc.), report the matter to Barry Murphy</p><p><a href="mailto:bpmurphy@vcoins.com">bpmurphy@vcoins.com</a></p><p>being sure to provide the link to the coin as listed on vcoins (most important) and any supporting images.&nbsp; This is only for coins actually listed on vcoins (don&#039;t bother him with things sold on eBay unless the seller is a vcoins dealer).&nbsp; Vcoins went through a hard spell after it was sold a few years back but more recently Barry has stepped in to return it to its former position of respect.&nbsp; He does care and he is capable.&nbsp; Still, there are vcoin dealers who know less than others and it is not surprising if there are a few errors that slip in.&nbsp; I have been less than fully satisfied with some decisions regarding coins that have been repatinated and not listed as such but when talking about absolute fakes, I believe vcoins means well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
