Read seller's feedback. Make sure the coin dealers you are doing business with haven't had any transactions with Chinese buyers or sellers involving raw, non-certified coins. You're more than likely to get an overpriced, counterfeit coin from these sellers. Our government seems to not take these Chinese counterfeits very seriously, so if you get duped, you won't get much help from any government agency.
