<p>[QUOTE="ExoMan, post: 2430944, member: 72588"]In today's marketplace, it's quite possible, nearly probable, that any dealer/collector could be "guilty" of unintentionally selling a counterfeit or altered coin.

Most were grateful, but many were offended. Those who were offended fell largely into two categories, being either crooks or those who felt I was attacking their veracity. Note that I always took pains to be tactful. Sadly, from my perspective, there are too many folks who fail to look at coins/tokens objectively. I've learned to quickly turn my back on those folks who, rather than study any given coin, seem to regard it as their child or extension of self. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin forums are a great place to share and learn.
