<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2642924, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t have an opinion worth stating save perhaps that it is not good to put too much weight on opinions from photographs or too little on coins from places I would not buy coins.&nbsp; I bought mine (11.9g) in 1995 from a dealer who now has a vCoins site but no one did in 1995.&nbsp; I have not learned a lot about Domitian in 22 years and probably won&#039;t be changing that either.&nbsp; I have many things on my list ahead of that.&nbsp; When conducting witch hunts it is good to remember that there may or not be a real witch involved and drowning an old woman was considered proof of her innocence.&nbsp; Would I buy the coin?&nbsp; Certainly not but it has almost nothing to do with the coin and a lot to do with its origin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of us are &#039;too&#039; or &#039;not enough&#039; on any given day.&nbsp; I suggest realizing that you will make a certain number of mistakes and so will the most trustworthy of dealers.&nbsp; If that situation prevents your enjoyment of the hobby, you might need a different hobby.&nbsp; If I have one fake per thousand purchases, I&#039;d say I am doing well.&nbsp; One in ten?&nbsp; I suspect the number is between those extremes. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]583351[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I probably have a dozen coins that I would not sell to someone who knows less than I do.&nbsp; If I sold them to a professional and they turned out bad, I would have to return the money but would not feel I had wronged them.&nbsp; We both just erred.&nbsp; When you set yourself up as a professional and sell your expertise to beginners, a higher standard is expected.&nbsp; Do your part and buy from people who would feel bad if they sold you a fake until you get to a point you feel comfortable in your own opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
