<p>[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 1687508, member: 26430"]I can only give advice for ancient coin buyers, and that's to stick to a relatively small number of "saved sellers" who you have reason to trust. Personally, I buy from a few sellers who I've personally known (online) for a long time, who have websites off ebay (e.g., forum), are involved in VCoins or a similar website, or are major auctioneers that happen to do some smaller auctions on ebay. I've received inaccurately described coins (to the point of being entirely false descriptions, intentionally deceptive) from one or two professional looking sellers that I didn't really know, and weren't really connected to any online coin community, as far as I can tell (i.e., not part of the more serious FaceBook groups, not involved in discussion groups). Accountability matters: Does a seller try to make themselves part of a community where their reputation will be at stake if they don't operate ethically?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
