Message:: [QUOTE="marbury518, post: 1109076, member: 24506"]first bullion buy Thanks for the advice, though warnings about Fakes are out there load and clear. I understand that clinking them together ain't a great idea as they tend to be vacuum wrapped from the mint, though a good test is to look for the diagonal reeding which the fakers have trouble with apparently (post 2000). Also I read that the comparison between the black and white fur just isn't like the authentic ones with an eye glass.  I also picked up a 2001 D Mint mark, vacuum wrapped, mint embossed down sides, boxed with for a good price from e-bay. 58 bucks.  If they come back fakes you guys can tell me when I post them and some will say 'I told you so!' We'll wait and see. For the e-bay critics rest assured I won't buy in any volume from e-bay, but just test the waters with these small buys and always do it through paypal.   I did buy a Secundo Crown 1821 in AU or close MS for $599 on e-bay and after having it appraised by Heritage Dallas they asserted the market value was $2,000.............maybe that's why I never made much money selling on e-bay either.[/QUOTE]
