<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Conduitt, post: 4654860, member: 109923&quot;]There&#039;s nothing wrong with doubting authenticity, not just in terms of whether it&#039;s fake or not, but whether it has been attributed correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are fakes out there, some that even trick dealers, although this should be much less likely through VCoins than eBay (but not impossible). I&#039;m relatively new to this too and I might be wrong, but I haven&#039;t found fakes to be an issue when buying through reputable dealers (not eBay).</p><p><br /></p><p>But a few times I&#039;ve bought coins that turned out to be wrongly attributed. On a couple of occasions they didn&#039;t even get the ruler correct. The wrong attribution could change the value of the coin quite significantly, so it&#039;s worth checking yourself, or if that fails, on here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, researching the coin is a huge part of the fun of collecting. Once you&#039;ve done that, quite often you&#039;ll answer any questions yourself. (And find you now have a long wish list of other coins you want).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
