[QUOTE="jody526, post: 144545, member: 578"]Yes, but eBay should only be reserved for the most experienced of numismatists. And, I should add to that, should only be for those who have had many "low-value purchases" under their belt. Any "newbie" should start buying from reputable dealers, who describe their coins properly, and have a reputation. EBay is not for those who are new to the hobby. Also, there is not a lot of CW token counterfeiting. If a newbie were to deal with an established CW token dealer, then his chances of buying a fake would be almost zero. Of course, if that same newbie were to buy the books, do the research, and put forth the effort, then his chances of getting ripped-off would be even less. But, then we wouldn't be able to call him a "newbie", would we?[/QUOTE]
