<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 8346924, member: 26302"]Sadder is when that buyer or his heirs go to a dealer to sell their precious items and find out how little they are worth. Of course, they never accept personal blame, instead telling everyone who will listen how the coin collecting hobby is full of cheats and shysters and stay away from it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have seen this repeated hundreds of times. As the only ancient collector at a local coin club I looked at coins brought to our coin show for everything not US. Many, many times when I told the people they were fakes, they were junk late romans, etc I was blamed, not the idiot who did not educate themselves to learn themselves.
