<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2499250, member: 19463&quot;]I tried to get interested in cash but never found answers to questions I felt needed addressing.&nbsp; High on the list is how to tell at even a basic level fakes from real coins even in coins fairly priced at a dollar or two.&nbsp; I saw differences and &#039;hype&#039; for coins being unlisted but never understood why I should consider a coin with a fingernail impression better or different than one without.&nbsp; I could see differences in characters as listed in the catalogs but still no reason that I needed a one dot tong if I already had a two dot.&nbsp; The mindset for collecting cash is very different from that required for Greek and Roman.&nbsp; I enjoy having the couple hundred cash I have (all cheaper and more common than you see sold individually online - Hartill rates most of mine at 14 or 15 on his common scale).&nbsp; To need more, I first need to know why the new ones would be different.&nbsp; I see this in non-round coins but assume all are fake or out of my price range if not both.&nbsp; If a cash fans would like to explain what attracts them to the hobby, I would love to hear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
