<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Odysseus, post: 2425858, member: 78274&quot;]I am convinced that 90% of dealers selling fake coins have no idea that they are doing that. They are not all scammers of course.</p><p>But this is not a good reason to forgive them. </p><p>Would you forgive a doctor who has no idea he is giving you a wrong therapy? Or an architect who has no idea he is building an house that could collapse? Or a grocery store who has no idea he is selling food that could poison you?</p><p>Everyone has to do their job as best as possible.</p><p>I think we shall always point at sellers listing fakes, so they will be more accurate in the future, to not waste their reputation. Here we are not talking of spotting fakes by advanced expensive technologies, it is enough to have an internet connection and spend some time looking on databases and comparing samples. Collectors must demand more accuracy by sellers, otherwise in some years all the private numismatic collections will be polluted by forgeries, otherwise in some years many collectors will change their hobby... and this would be very sad, because ancient coins collecting is one of the most noble hobbies ever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
