[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8311664, member: 91461"]Hey team, This sellers coins keep crossing my paths but I'm skeptical, particularly the silver coins just have a mushy/soapy look to them. [URL]https://www.ebay.com/str/sss88sss[/URL] [ATTACH=full]1471293[/ATTACH] Maybe the mushiness is just from them recently digging the coins out of the ground and or over cleaning? They have coins selling for good prices... but maybe too good. Here's an example of one that makes me leary. Mushy, has craters and is that a seem along the top?: [ATTACH=full]1471294[/ATTACH] And here's a different coin from a different time... but has the same issues: [ATTACH=full]1471295[/ATTACH] I'm awful at spotting fakes due to the fact that if I have any doubt I assume it's fake. I guess my only reservations are that they are not on FORVM'S naughty list, they're from England, they do have coins that are clearly legit and they have some coins that I'm interested in. :shame: Am I being harsh and they're probably just fine or am I being willingly naive and they're fakes for sure?[/QUOTE]
