<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 5706002, member: 72790"]I don't buy coins from the "high end big auction houses) but do buy from vendors on V Coins. I have wondered about this. One of the reasons I do buy from these vendors is to lessen the possibility of buying fakes. However the volume of coins that some offer make me wonder if they can really vet each and every coin. I am willing to pay a slight premium to ensure that my purchases are of genuine coins but with so many fakes now out there how can I be sure I am getting what I am paying for? Yes, I know I can send my coins away for certification but the kind I buy are not worth spending half their cost to put into a slab I don't want them in anyway. What can collectors of medium grade and lesser rarity coins do to protect ourselves?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
