[QUOTE="chip, post: 726466, member: 19122"]as a novice collector, I try to only buy from dealers that have some expertise, and that have shown some integrity, UNfortunately there are some that I get the feeling they would sell you a counterfiet and then claim they did not know, basically so far only two dealers in the area that transmit that feeling to me. As for Ebay I will wait until I know a little bit more about coins before I venture there, I have seen so many threads where the experienced collectors picked up on fakes and the ebay bidders were bidding genuine money for them. And when I looked at the pictures of them before explanations were offered, I admit I would have been fooled, not that it would take that good of a fake to fool me. So I look at it so far that when I buy from a reputable dealer I might pay a little more, but I am also purchasing his experience and savvy,[/QUOTE]
