<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1216919, member: 26302"]You are lucky Siggi if they don't get mad at you. I was the only person in my coin club who collected anything other than US coins, so therefor I was the "foreign and ancient guy", (yeah its fair they assume I know everything about 99.8% of all coins ever produced.....). Anyway, at our local show anything other than US that people had a question about would be directed to me. I have never seen a real ancient Judean brought to that show, and 99% of the Chinese were counterfeits. The "judean" were almost always the 1960's cereal box handouts. However, when I told the people this, they would scream, "My grandfather brought this home 70 years ago, you are a thief, (even though I never offered to buy it from them), you don't know anything, what a ripoff this whole place is trying to steal from us". </p><p><br /></p><p>The bearer of bad news is never a happy place to be.
