<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 728871, member: 19463&quot;]While we repeatedly tell beginners to buy from trusted sources, we know that is no fun and it is normal to want to become self sufficient in such things. The best way to accomplish this is to see and handle tens of thousands of genuine coins. One way to accomplish this is to attend a coin show in person and go through junk boxes and all the stock dealers are willing to show. They will be more likely to show coins if you know the language of the coins you seek. Don&#039;t ask for &#039;old stuff&#039; but pick something more specific like &#039;coins of Constantine the Great and family&#039;. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Do your research online, too. The following link has thousands of fakes. Compare those images to good coins (like those on vcoins) and you are on your way to being self sufficient. I&#039;ve been doing it for 40 years and should be pretty safe in another 40.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/index.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/index.php</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
