<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mgmgmg75, post: 2416856, member: 75114&quot;]Hi all.&nbsp; Dumb question for all the ancient collectors out there.&nbsp; I&#039;m a US collector but I did send away for uncleaned ancients, just for the experience of cleaning and trying to ID them.&nbsp; My question is, if purchasing a common, low priced coin, how does the inexperienced know it&#039;s not a fake?&nbsp; Besides 1. experience, which most likely will not happen if just a casual collector, 2. patina, which I would think could be applied, and 3. purchasing from a reputable dealer,&nbsp; is there any dead giveaways?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
