<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3496055, member: 19463&quot;]Not at all.&nbsp; What I am saying is that a guarantee is worthless unless tested and explored.&nbsp; If a seller who knows nothing sells a hundred fakes to buyers who know nothing there might be a few returned when discovered but many will live in the buyer&#039;s collection for years (generations?) or be sold to others who know nothing about the coin or the guarantee.&nbsp; All worthwhile dealers guarantee their product but, to me, that needs to be accompanied by their knowing what it is they are guaranteeing.&nbsp; The world greatest expert and most honest seller of modern coins can guarantee a Parthian drachm even though he might know nothing about Parthia or drachms.&nbsp; Those who buy his coins are only protected if they learn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
