<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Factor, post: 25410829, member: 96413&quot;]I am a niche collector, and the coins I collect are by definition much more rare than your typical Roman imperial or Greek coins. There are many types that I have only seen once or twice on the market, over more than 25 years I closely monitor it. Thus i can&#039;t be picky, it is often now or never, literally. So eBay, major auctions, minor &#039;hole in the wall&#039; auctions, vcoins dealers - all goes. There are two major factors, coin and price. Who you buying it from doesn&#039;t really matter. Luckily in my field there are not many forgeries, though they still exist. Tooling is much more common and severe problem, and such modified coins can come from any source, eBay or CNG. Long story short, what matters is the coin and not where you buy it. If coins are your passion and you have any specialization you quickly gain some insight. If your interest is very broad or occasional just rely on vcoins and slabs, it will cost you a little more but will give you confidence you need. Obviously with this approach you will never have any good surprises as well, but that&#039;s your trade for confidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
