<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 7781413, member: 39084&quot;]For all of the auction houses with whom I&#039;ve dealt, this assertion is simply not true.&nbsp; In fact, NAC, CNG, and others give an <i>unlimited</i> guarantee of authenticity.&nbsp; This means that, e.g. in 100 years (assuming that NAC is still in business), if one of your heirs or subsequent purchasers of an NAC-auctioned coin discovers the coin is a forgery, NAC will refund the entire original auction price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had direct personal experience in this situation:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/hadrian-aureus-a-tale-of-subtle-differences.283959/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/hadrian-aureus-a-tale-of-subtle-differences.283959/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/hadrian-aureus-a-tale-of-subtle-differences.283959/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Can you point out in HA&#039;s terms and conditions where they limit returns for a coin&#039;s authenticity to only seven days?&nbsp; I&#039;m unable to locate this limitation despite searching their terms and conditions for &quot;authentic,&quot; and &quot;seven.&quot;&nbsp; Here&#039;s a link to HA&#039;s auction terms that I searched:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.sixbid.com/en/heritage-auctions-inc/8670/conditions?term&amp;orderCol=lot_number&amp;orderDirection=asc&amp;priceFrom&amp;displayMode=large&amp;auctionSessions=&amp;sidebarIsSticky=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sixbid.com/en/heritage-auctions-inc/8670/conditions?term&amp;orderCol=lot_number&amp;orderDirection=asc&amp;priceFrom&amp;displayMode=large&amp;auctionSessions=&amp;sidebarIsSticky=false" rel="nofollow">https://www.sixbid.com/en/heritage-auctions-inc/8670/conditions?term&amp;orderCol=lot_number&amp;orderDirection=asc&amp;priceFrom&amp;displayMode=large&amp;auctionSessions=&amp;sidebarIsSticky=false</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d be surprised if HA didn&#039;t offer the same unlimited guarantee of authenticity that is offered by NAC, CNG, et al.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many dealers also offer extensive or unlimited guarantees of authenticity on coins that they sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your assertions are dangerously unfounded and misinformed.&nbsp; It&#039;s one thing to have a personal <i>opinion</i> that, say, NGC&#039;s experts and CNG&#039;s experts are similarly competent when it comes to evaluating authenticity (although even that opinion could be researched and supported statistically) but it&#039;s entirely different to assert as fact something that is demonstrably untrue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
