[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1013058, member: 112"]It leaves him right where he has always been. You are 100% correct ! Butas I said above, they always have been. No, it doesn't rule out anything. There are 2, very, very good options. 1 - Only buy coins slabbed NGC or PCGS. Now it used to be that I would have said buy only coins slabbed by NGC, PCGS, ICG, or ANACS. But in recent years, because the changes in owership and grading the grading practices of ICG and ANACS, I no longer include them. But coins in their slabs are fine. 2 - Only buy coins from a reputable dealer. If you buy a coin from a reputable dealer and then find out 20 years later that the coin is fake - that dealer will stand behind that coin and refund your money. Now where collectors get into trouble is when they start thinking that they know enough to buy coins on their own. That they can buy from anybody. Well you can't ! You never could ! It was true 50 years ago and it is still true today. And it will still be true 100 years from now. None of this is anything new.[/QUOTE]
