Message:: [QUOTE="texmech, post: 740377, member: 20068"]For what it's worth, I talked with the dealer and basically told him I may have been mistaken. We had a long talk. My respect for him went up quite a bit. It seems like he really knows his stuff. He told me he was really surprised when I indicated my 89 Moran may have been fake. He said that 89 I had was from  a roll they recently had purchased. They go over every important coin with a 20 power scope, weight some before grading. In my mind they may be a little opptomistic on the grades, but that's for me to deal with when buying. He said he sees a lot of fakes come in his shop and is not perfect but can catch most if not all of them. He spouted off coin weights, alloys, die life and a slew of other things. He said bring it by anytime. We had a long talk about coins and its a different side that I have not had the opportunity to see yet. Just an a side comment he made. That he always wonders when someone brings in a key date that is raw, why is it not in a holder. Maybe an indicator it's not real.  Appreciate everyones help. I learned a few things and some web sites to check.In a way I'm glad I confronted them with this. My trust level is increased quite a bit.[/QUOTE]
