<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 747825, member: 21705&quot;]I would not automatically assume that any coin which is not what is advertised is the result of a shady seller. Many times they think what they are selling is real. I would want more than this before I started questioning the integrity of the seller. I would always beware of any coin, even those from my own collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>This reminds me of a dealer I know to be honest who showed me his 1877 Indian in XF one time. He asked me what I thought and I had to tell him that I thought the date was too wide for an authentic 1877 and was probably an altered 1897. It was an excellent job and I would have been fooled if the genuine 1877s did not have such a distinctively narrow spacing of the date. Even the pros can be fooled sometimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if a pattern of this type of problem appears and the seller insists that his merchandise is authentic, then I would begin to suspect the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now with that said, I have the tendency to see too much at times so I would be suspicious of many authentic coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
