Yes, but this is a cutthroat hobby. Do not be fooled into thinking it's safe because of the huge amounts of money involved. Everything about numismatics depends on subjective judgement; nothing is "written in stone" in any prosecutable sense. Aside counterfeits, the hobby is completely unregulated and you can do what you please. Some of the largest sellers on Ebay are some of the worst offenders. The proof of the danger is in the fact that we - the body of collectors/buyers - tolerate sellers like these because they also offer stuff worth buying.

Learn, or be eaten, is the rule. A fair percentage of coin buyers don't know that rule, and they're being eaten (well, their wallets are) as we speak. They just won't know it for years down the road, when they try to liquidate the dreck they bought.
