<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8464834, member: 26430&quot;]I believe this for sure. Not just seeing obvious fakes but all the deceptive fakes (and&nbsp; tooled coins). Plus the less-deceptive fakes slightly outside one&#039;s area of expertise (which makes them harder to recognize). I definitely feel one&#039;s &quot;eye&quot; develops differently when only looking at coins in higher-end auctions or only on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again, if you only look at NAC or Triton catalogs, you will not develop an eye for what genuine but lower grade coins look like.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s one reason why I like to scan everything on VCoins and MA-Shops even though I rarely buy them (not that I think there are 0% fakes, but fewer than eBay), to get a visual appreciation of a broad range of types in many different conditions and price ranges.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
