[QUOTE="RichardT, post: 7649527, member: 100005"]The best advice I have heard is to "Know the coin or know the seller." A very small part of trying to know the coin is to read the auction listing for obvious red flags. In this case, for all of the lots mentioned there are old provenances listed which apparently escaped notice or were discounted out of hand. Why would an auction house list provenances if they're false? It should be easily verifiable (at least for some lots).[/QUOTE]
