[QUOTE="Thurmond, post: 2138058, member: 70941"]I like raw, world, 20th century, gold coins. Some examples would be the Mexican 50 peso, the British Sovereign , etc. I also buy interesting modern bullion like the Gold Libertads. I'm not too wound up about condition. I try to stay just above spot. I straddle the fence between bullion and numismatics . Occasionally, I find what I'm looking for at some of the big bullion retailers at very good prices, and have bought raw coins without giving much though to the authenticity, much like one would buy modern bullion. I just assumed that the big retailers were checking for fakes, especially when they acquire the coins. I can't imagine it would be good for business if word got out that bullion retailer was selling fake gold. With all the talk of high quality fakes, I'm now concerned that I may be naive, yet I have yet to hear of a story of any the big bullion retailers selling a fake. Any stories or opinions?[/QUOTE]
