<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 5364957, member: 44357&quot;]A particularly vocal skeptic I&#039;ve encountered was a dealer of US coins that I would see at shows over the course of several years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had purchased many US coins from him but every time I talked about ancients, he questioned how it could be known that they&#039;re real, etc. I used the logical counter arguments that the same methods for authenticating US coins are used but with the added benefit of a few hundred extra years of knowledge and more data to go on with unique production abnormalities.</p><p><br /></p><p>He refused to back down so I conceded the argument by no longer buying from him. Some people wouldn&#039;t believe their chair is real even if they&#039;re sitting on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
