<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4841658, member: 19463"]I strongly discourage that. People who think they know it all would decide that genuine coins were copies and ruin perfectly good ancients. Can you tell a fake from a barbarous from a branch mint product? Can you tell a modern copy from a 200 year old one from a 2000 year old one. If you think you are capable 100% of the time, you are dangerous. This seems trivial compared to the regular reports of people released from prison after decades of having been locked up for something they did not do. Being 99.9% correct means nothing to the .1% you will ruin. Keep your stamps off my coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
