<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2687516, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;m sure that&#039;s the case.

Mostly what people are doing is trying to get you to not make the most common new collector mistake of them all: thinking they&#039;re getting a good deal and getting ripped off either with junk coins or with fakes. The fact that you considered buying the owls posted in the other thread highly suggests you haven&#039;t yet developed the authentication skills that it behooves one to have when buying from sources like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I honestly don&#039;t think there&#039;s anything wrong with it for an experienced collector and I do occasionally buy from somewhat out-of-the-way sources myself but I spent quite a while studying coins before I ever did so and I made sure I fully understood all applicable laws and was fully confident in my ability to authenticate the coins I was buying. This takes time and there are no shortcuts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
