[QUOTE="Carthago, post: 2472001, member: 76111"]May I make a suggestion, Angel, that you start smaller. This is an expensive coin, coming from a VCoins dealer which is good, but still a questionable piece in terms of condition, price and maybe even authenticity. Why put yourself through the hassle of certifying it or even worrying about it's authenticity given your prior learning experience with those other fakes? Look for some nice common coins, in good condition, in the few hundred dollar range. You could buy 10 for this price. Start building a collection with less questionable real coins in good condition (the Claudius you are considering is not). Buy some common issues of Hadrian, Trajan, Marcus Aurelius etc to start learning about what is real and what isn't. They'll be more easily sold too as you change your tastes or want to upgrade.
