<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3800255, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;ve had mixed reactions when people learn that I collect ancients but most that know me well enough that I&#039;ve mentioned this hobby to them have been in my house and seen my library and know how much time I put towards studying and collecting ancients. It takes a lot of trust for me to even let a good friend into my house. It helps too that I&#039;ve got a website I can point them to that references all sorts of hoard reports and things.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, at the end of the day there are really only a few people whose opinions without hard evidence I value enough to take seriously when it comes to the authenticity of my own coins. If some random person calls them fake as happens on web forums and other places from time to time I largely just ignore it. I&#039;ve done the due diligence on my coins to more than convince myself. If someone seemed to have a good faith interest in seeing the sort of evidence I consider as part of that process I&#039;d have no problem sitting down for a few minutes or even hours and showing them but I see no reason to try to convince the average person that they&#039;re wrong there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
