<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1795387, member: 36230&quot;]It may not excuse him, but we really can&#039;t blame the guy any more or less than we would a collector who did the same. It&#039;s very possible that he bought it because of the apparent certification, which is the same reason many collectors will purchase; he believed it real and this is an unfortunate reality today.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Every buyer with the internet has the option to use a knowledgeable dealer who will stand behind the coins they sell, just as every collector has the ability to question how much they truly know about the coins they wish to purchase. If a person who is honest with themselves about their ability to identify counterfeits, problems, etc still chooses to buy from an unknown, or from someone who clearly does not regularly deal in coins, it is their decision and they&#039;ve only themselves to blame if things do not go well. I hate to say this because it does bother me to see people burned, but it is a reality of the game. This gentleman, who clearly did not have the necessary knowledge to do so safely, still chose to buy and likely learned a hard, but not uncommon lesson. He was a victim of his own poor choices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
