[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3403046, member: 99642"]I agree with your weight loss analysis. As I stated, that's too much loss. No offense, but I think you misunderstand about [I]what[/I] I'm looking for, and which assurances I accept. I'm not necessarily looking for authentic coins every time I buy. I'm looking for authentic silver. I have several of these Fat Man coins. Some I know are genuine, some I'm not sure. I have several FIC 1 Piasters, again some are real, some maybe not. I simply haven't tested the ones I'm unsure of yet. There are quite a few coins that are counterfeited on a regular basis and used to deceive buyers into spending large sums for them. I never spend large sums. I have many of the commonly counterfeited coins but I've never paid much for any of them. I seldom pay more than $10 - $20 for anything. Even the most expensive of coins. Some of the counterfeit coins being sold are actual silver and the conman is counting on the extra premium that goes with the " rare and scarce " coin to cover his cost of the real silver in the coin. So if I get one of those non-authentic, but real silver coins, at a great price, am I hurting? Considering I'm not a seller, and if I do sell at some point, I [I]will be totally honest about it[/I] , just as this seller has been with me. Anyway, when I get the coin I will test it locally and find out the facts, and return it if I want to.[/QUOTE]
