<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2960526, member: 19463&quot;]If you are going to listen to my &#039;advise&#039; on anything, forget the book and grab on to the one where I advise not buying rare and expensive coins from sources that can not BOTH be trusted AND be proven to know enough to avoid high quality, deceptive fakes far better than these</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be nice to see the less &#039;exciting&#039; coins.&nbsp; Many collections consist of 95% genuine, boring coins and 5% coins that are both exciting and fake.&nbsp; </p><p>.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>+1&nbsp; - I do not claim to know enough to expertise high end coins for others but I would not touch any of these or any coin sold by what you call &#039;reputable&#039; dealers who handle them.&nbsp;&nbsp; I will state and restate one point I consider a fact:&nbsp; If you can afford to buy coins like these, you can afford to employ an agent to represent you in the purchases and save you from coins like these.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Question for our &#039;high end&#039; collectors:&nbsp; What do you pay for such representation?&nbsp; 5%? 15%? 25%???&nbsp; a minimum per lot?&nbsp; (50% would be cheap if it saved you from Pompey.)&nbsp; How did you find the agent you use?&nbsp; The last person I paid for such a service retired and I&#039;ll never again be buying coins in this bracket.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
