As noted, assessing real from fake can be a daunting task...[I][B]don't take it personally![/B][/I] We all learn from each other, & we should hopefully recognize our personal limitations & try to improve them. That said, your comment: ...is not even close, in fact, I wouldn't say that the specimen in question is even 50% of the first one you posted. So aside from learning the "genuineness" of coins, it's important to learn the quality as well. The same advice applies: you need to handle (read: [I]see first hand, in person[/I]) a lot of real coins of different conditions, & over time, your assessments will be more accurate. As for: Don't let the actions of "bidiots" sway you! And while you should consider negative comments to be a red flag, "19000 positive" should [B][I][U]not[/U][/I][/B] indicate "all is good", especially on FleeceBay.
