<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3220098, member: 26302&quot;]I agree wholeheartedly. The absolutely best way I know of gaining &quot;the eye&quot; is simply perusing good auction firms and looking at hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of good coins. After time, especially in areas in which appeal to you, you develop a subconscious feel of what a good coin looks like. Fakes quickly stop your eye long before your mind knows what is wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is why for ancients I cannot simply peruse ancient coins. Way too many stops, and it is simply too tiring. Plus, you run the risk of training your eye to those coins and forgetting why they are fake. I usually stick to a list of good sellers I have on Ebay, and avoid it otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collecting should be relaxing and enjoyable, not slogging through piles and piles of fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
