<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 680195, member: 19409&quot;]There isn&#039;t any such service in the same way that there is for modern coins. There are a few places that will authenticate what you have (David R. Seer being the best, but Forvm offers such a service as well), but they won&#039;t slab or anything like that. Your best bet is to stick with reputable dealers who offer lifetime guarentees. Forvm, Common Bronze, and anyone on VCoins will be fine. I would be very surprised if you got any fakes from them, and their return policies would make that a simple thing to fix. If you want to get stuff from eBay (and honestly, that is where the best deals are, though I wouldn&#039;t recommend it when you&#039;re starting off), then make sure that you don&#039;t buy from anyone on <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0" rel="nofollow">this list of known fake sellers</a>. Also take a look at the fake reports that Stainless linked to, and check out the rest of the fakes board at Forvm to see if the coin you wish to purchase is being discussed. If you really are unsure about your purchase, post about it there, as they should be able to tell you if you need to worry. If you keep at this, after a while, you&#039;ll get a sense for what ancients are and aren&#039;t supposed to look like, and that&#039;ll make things easier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
