[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2176463, member: 57495"]My thanks to Martin, Ides and Cyrrhus for their comments and the time they took to look at these coins closer. At this point, having actually handled and looked at these coins in hand, my own opinion is that the majority are good though a few are in need of closer scrutiny. Ides' questions on the circumstances of purchase are valid and in this case I have confidence in the auction house, their cataloger (whom I've corresponded and met with), as well as the price I paid for the coins. None of this is to say that there might not be fakes here in this group. As I mentioned, I have my detailed checking ahead of me and if nothing else I'll be even more diligent with that now.
