<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 3245380, member: 51347&quot;]Here-here!!!</p><p>I was JUST about to post a very similar posting, but you beat me to it. You said everything I was just about to state.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact in a recent post, I stated a very abridged version, perhaps echoing what had been stated many times before:</p><p><br /></p><p>“@@Mat has a good eye and is very knowledgable. I trust his opinion among several others here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I usually do a lot of homework by using the CoinTalk Search in the upper right corner, acsearch.com, wildwinds.com, cng.com, forumancientcoins, wikipedia (quick history), fake reports, look up the terms describing the coin, research the seller, metallurgy, dates, etc. etc. BEFORE I buy. It gives me an acceptable level of confidence.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will also private message folks that are familiar or experts before I pull the trigger.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to KNOW the Seller AND/OR KNOW the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It keeps you from running around with you hair on fire.”</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-just-bought-this-otacilia-severa-i-think-its-fake.327453/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-just-bought-this-otacilia-severa-i-think-its-fake.327453/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-just-bought-this-otacilia-severa-i-think-its-fake.327453/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes folks do not heed the advice, seemingly too lazy to research. Feels like they want us to do the work for them, rather than learning for themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>I echo the point about the “lgnore” button: if the individual does not at least TRY to use the Search Bar, or search online to get an enormous amount of free information, then I am more inclined to use the Ignore button so that I do not see their questions after questions, over and over again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
