<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chascat, post: 2608226, member: 76792&quot;]Is it getting to the point that a Certified coin needs to be authenticated by a third party and then again and again?&nbsp; Where does this all end?&nbsp; My own code of ethics tells me to not purchase expensive coins without in hand inspection.&nbsp; You probably got a nice coin at a great price, but eventually, the law of averages can take hold. Do auction houses professionally inspect all lots offered?&nbsp; I can trust a few dealers whom I know will do this inspection for me, but to assume a coin is authentic just because it has a cert. number is risky for me.&nbsp; The coin needs to match the photo, and if there is no photo, then I become skeptical and probably pass on that one.&nbsp; If it,s from my trusted source than not a problem.&nbsp; I guess I,ve become paranoid, but with large sums of money I can,t afford chance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
