[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2526099, member: 74282"]Be careful assuming guarantees and high feedback means good coins. Ol' [URL='http://www.ebay.com/usr/saxbys-coins']Saxby's Coins[/URL] has great feedback, a guarantee of authenticity, and over 4,000 positive reviews and he's one of the biggest frauds on eBay with a stock that is a mixture of seemingly-authentic coins and everything from extremely sloppy fakes to some that are relatively dangerous even for experienced collectors but can you, as a new collector tell which ones are likely to fall into either category? There are plenty of good dealers on there as well, don't get me wrong, but in my opinion being able to accurately judge dealers of coins first and foremost requires being able to judge the coins themselves and this takes time studying and handling authentic examples.[/QUOTE]
