<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Casey C., post: 8155475, member: 134037&quot;]I&#039;d like to start by making it clear I know absolutely nothing about coins, let alone ancient coins. I happened to trade some firearms for silver bullion and rounds recently and so I had searched &quot;silver coins&quot; on Facebook Marketplace out of sheer curiosity, which I&#039;m assuming is what brought up the ad of &quot;Old coins&quot; on my feed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought they looked kind of cool, and after about a minute and a half of Google I was convinced that if even one of the five checked out I would make back the $113 dollars after shipping and tax. I should mention I also spent a few minutes perusing the seller&#039;s profile looking for the obvious warning signs (recently made profile, few friends, other items for sale with suspect pricing, etc.), before hitting the &quot;Buy Now&quot;. The other 24 people who saved the ad will now have to wonder the rest of their lives if they dodged a bullet or missed out on the deal of a lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, after some more Google-fu I decided that pending what you all have to say, David Sears would be my best bet in authenticating as some of them appear eastern and I understand NGC only does western coins? This is of course assuming they actually show up, are actually what was pictured, and aren&#039;t obviously fake. I&#039;ve included the only picture of the coins I have for you all to speculate on while we wait to see how this pans out.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this aside, I&#039;m now curious to hear other&#039;s stories of sketchy old coin purchases. Were they &quot;bank&quot; or &quot;bust&quot;? How mad did your significant other get? What lesson did you learn? Thanks for the input![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
