<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3534399, member: 90666&quot;]These are low quality obvious fakes, to anyone who IS intimately familiar with these types. The Murcus looks like its made out of plastic for example. One shouldn&#039;t be buying $10,000 coins such as this Murcus type anyways except from dealers one trusts profoundly or where you have personal expertise. And if one takes the precaution to buy from reliable sources (who would refund) there is nothing really to be worried about. I don&#039;t worry about bad fakes, only about good fakes. But I tend anyway to collect only old provenance coins. I recently bought the same Murcus type; my new coin however has a 1960 Vinchon provenance, 59 years old and impeccably genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]939325[/ATTACH]</p><p>(my Murcus in its April 1960 Vinchon sale - lot 314)</p><p><br /></p><p>On another discussion group the point is made constantly that one should either &quot;know the coin&quot; (have expertise) or &quot;know the dealer&quot; (buy from dealers with a wide reputation for absolute trustworthiness). It needs emphasising that just because a dealer lists on Sixbid does NOT imply he is reliable. There are plenty of rogues on Sixbid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
