<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 7503616, member: 72790"]I understand about knowing the dealer but as I look at the large inventories with some pretty quick turnover I am somewhat less than completely confidant that these dealers are examining what they are selling with the time necessary to determine their authenticity. Yes, I would probably get a refund if some turned out to be bogus but by the time I find that out that they are bogus, will they still be in business. I have been snookered by presumably reputable dealers who were mistaken about what they were selling but only my discovering this decades after the purchase. Knowing one's dealer only works when the dealer is taking the time and making the effort to authenticate all of the coins he is selling. If handling fifty to sixty a day, can any dealer spend that much time on each coin to be certain of their authenticity. Knowing the dealer may help somewhat, but it is far from doing more than establishing a fair degree of probability and nothing more than that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
