<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 3216865, member: 76863&quot;]Do you go to coin shops and coin shows to monitor for fakes being sold and hang out to see how they handle it months and years later?&nbsp; You haven&#039;t bought or sold a coin in a decade by your own admission so at best it seems you&#039;re thinking about how things were in the old days for you.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course raw fake coins are sold in the real world and unless you have a long standing relationship with that seller that you purchased from in person you are basically going to be out of luck if it takes you months or years to figure it out.&nbsp; What is actually going to happen if you&#039;re a new buyer/first time/they don&#039;t remember you is that most will say they would have never sold a fake and that you must be mistaken where you got it or you are trying to scam them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s going to be a fight that the buyer will lose most of the time trying to return a coin years later that you will basically have no proof they ever sold you.&nbsp; It&#039;s especially true if you aren&#039;t the typical looking elderly collector especially if it was a one off purchase.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So like I said for most people the only true lifetime authenticity guarantee is from the TPGs for coins that haven&#039;t been cracked out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
