<p>[QUOTE="starnote111, post: 190650, member: 7692"]Hello Drusus, and another Big Hello! to everyone else. I hope everyone is well and in good spirits. Now for a little advise from a fellow who has learned a few lessons the hardest way possible......by my bank account....and being fooled by "replicas" and "counterfeits". Yes! there is a lot of good gold out there, but my friends be advised that there is also alot of "bad gold" out there also. Drusus...did you know that forgeries exist of most U.S. gold coins dated between 1870 and 1933? As well as all issues of the gold dollar and the three-dollar gold piece. Most are very well made for they were intended to pass the scrutiny of collectors. Very few gold coins of earlier dates have been counterfeited, but false 1799 ten-dollar gold pieces and the 1811 five-dollar gold pieces have been made. Since coin collecting has gained in popularity and rare coin prices have risen "numismatic" counterfeits have become more common and believe it or not most of these coins are die-struck gold coin counterfeits that have been mass produced overseas since 1950. Myself and a few of my associates bought a large Estate Lot of coins at an auction a few years back and in the lot were Indian Head Quarter Eagles, Three Dollar gold pieces Indian Princess Head, Liberty Head Quarter Eagles, Liberty Head Half Eagles, Indian Head Half Eagles, Indian Head Eagles, and last but surely not least some Liberty Head Double Eagles (both types) without motto on the reverse and motto above Eagle. Needless to say along with the silver coins (some rare series and dates and some common dates) our little group invested a sizeable amount of funds into this venture. One of my associates in this venture was a member of several coin associations thus qualified to have coins graded by NGC so we contacted them got the proper paper-work and instructions on how to package/ship/and insure our investment and sent all I repeat "ALL" of the coins for grading and authentication of the coins, just positive our profit margain after this move was going to be the "skies the limit" scale. And boy were we paralized beyond words when half (1/2) of the coins came back in what is refered to as a "body bag" with the statement "coins or replicas/counterfeits" are un-gradeable!!!!!!!!. Yep' ......it was a sicking experience that made me physically ill and cost me several months of much need sleep. We all lost "Thousands of dollars" with no avenue to turn to but to ...well...suck it up!!!. Never, ever, ever, ever buy any gold coin unless it is slabbed and certified authentic and then I'd personally only buy from NGC or PCGS, and thats because these two aren't questioned about their grading at are sold at the same price bought or either a premium in some cases. Gold is great.........Bad gold is something you don't want to experience at any level of collecting. If you want to talk to some folks here your hook-up. These are the "Big Boys" contact Monaco Financial <a href="http://www.zoomcoin.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.zoomcoin.com" rel="nofollow">www.zoomcoin.com</a>. 1-888-751-1933 or 949-752- 1933 extension 4538. The Senior Account Representative you should reach will be Brad Moseley. Address is 4900 Birch Street, Newport Beach, California. 92660. These boys are gold merchents of the first order and if you've got the bucks they can hook you up and promise you a "Demanded Premium" on your investment starting at around 15/20% and up..up...up. Call these guys and listen to what they have to say and educate yourself a little on the gold market. Be careful when buying gold, research/study/read every article and reference you can and then do it again before you start investing in gold. Well, I've ran my mouth enough.............."An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure" I Know!!! Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
