<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1908462, member: 19463"]That is the role of the seller. If you can not say that about the dealer you are about to patronize, just walk away and find one who you do trust. If you buy a coin David Vagi mistakenly says is genuine, he'll point out that his disclaimer does not guarantee the authenticity or correctness of their opinions. If you buy a bad coin from any of a thousand other sellers that are honest and subscribe to the standard code of ethics, you will get your money back. The role of the slabber is to make it possible for the ignorant to sell coins to the ignorant. I'd prefer to patronize those who have put a life's work into understanding their subject and who will stand behind their items with a lifetime money back guarantee. Do all sellers do business this way? No, but the ones that someone ready to buy his first expensive coin should. There is no reason to pay a third party for a service that you should be getting for free just so you can buy coins out of the back of a pickup at a flea market. Several of these videos have featured Harlan Berk. The coins he is selling Raw are just a genuine as the ones in the slabs. Did you notice that the coins he was handling were alive and breathing?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
