<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1329684, member: 26302&quot;]Just to be clear sir, you posted photos of coins on here that were fuzzy that are fairly heavily faked, that is why I said, &quot;if they are authentic&quot;. Then I informed you that they were Greek, not Roman. Later when explaining I was trying to help you learn the proper vocabulary I said it was, &quot;because someone who calls greek coins Romans looks like an idiot&quot;. It was my reasoning to try to help you know the difference in the first place. I was not trying to call you an idiot. Then all of the further slanders towards me, whatever. </p><p><br /></p><p>Point is sir, you do not know ancient coins, the dealer you mentioned does not to my knowledge have a reputation as to knowing ancient coins, and there are many dealers in theis country who do not know them, but think they can &quot;authenticate&quot; them. That is why I was simply trying to authenticate them myself, to help YOU. I would not send to CNG, (the worlds largest ancient coin company), a 2010 US error coin, its not their specialty. Similarly I will not trust a local coin dealer whose 99.99% of their inventory is US and bullion coins to authenticate a highly faked ancient. If they have more expertise than that I apologize, but I have been to every major show in the US and have never met them. &quot;Coins&quot; is a huge field. Would you trust a Roman artifact specialist to properly catalog a colonial era artifact you find? No, you wish to find a colonial era specialist, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw for many months I have been a paying member here, whatever that is worth since you seemed to wish to call me out on that as well. You are not required to put &quot;Supporter&quot; if you donate to this site. Its the internet sir, you would be wise to limit your assumptions of others here until you get to know them. There are a few here that if they say a coin is good or bad, I believe them since their knowledge is vastly superior than mine, and I have been collecting coins 35 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I am willing to just bury the hatchet. I think you will find this site an excellent resource to learn more information on all of your coin finds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Merry Christmas,</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
