<p>[QUOTE="mgmgmg75, post: 2416856, member: 75114"]Hi all. Dumb question for all the ancient collectors out there. I'm a US collector but I did send away for uncleaned ancients, just for the experience of cleaning and trying to ID them. My question is, if purchasing a common, low priced coin, how does the inexperienced know it's not a fake? 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, is there any dead giveaways?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
