Why would people buy things that are not as easily verifiable as a mint issued coin if they weren't an expert in telling pm? A fake coin is simply easier to tell since most of the time the forgers get the thickness, diameter, design, SOMETHING wrong. With bars, there are usually not set parameters to check the same as with coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I get worked up is now that person will bad mouth PM and coin dealers as a bunch of crooks, giving our area of the world a bad name.

I wonder if the cash transactions is what attracts the losers to us?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
