Also since this is an online shop, I cannot follow all the steps of analysing or weighting the coin. I am sure you receive a lot of these type of these request, however as mentioned before this would be my first acquisition and I would like to make sure I do not buy a fake given the significant prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also if you do not mind me asking, I would have a couple of questions: </p><p>Usually how authentic are these on-line stores and products? </p><p>Do the “authenticity certificates” even matter? I have heard that even specialists get tricked by fakes. </p><p>Would you be able to recommend some verified and trustworthy stores?</p><p>I am interested in coins &quot;from Dacia&quot; or from the period of when a good chunk of Dacia was part of the Roman Empire. Any advice where I might find more options?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you very much in advance for your kind advice and support.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind regards,</p><p>Andrei[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
