<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2652719, member: 8959&quot;]There are some very good points here made by many of you on this touchy subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having purchased some fakes in my 30-year collecting lifetime, I generally support the idea of possible counterfeit coin being called-out. We can all benefit and learn.</p><p>We certainly do not want to hold back those among us more experienced from sharing their knowledge. That is one reason we come here for: to learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the risk of repeating the <b>many good points</b> made in this thread, here is my opinion:</p><p><br /></p><p>I Support being called-out if its is done based on the following premises.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1.</b> First and foremost, if you do not know enough/have <b>sufficient facts to support you concerns, don&#039;t voice them.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>2.</b> If you do, then please do it <b>tactfully.&nbsp; </b></p><p>(yes, it does hurt and it is embarrassing to find out that coin you spent some precious grocery or holiday money on is a fake).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>3.</b> Give the collector the option to <b>carry on the discussion in private</b>, if the collector <b>so wishes.&nbsp;&nbsp; </b></p><p>(some people may prefer it this way, and we <b>must respect that</b>).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
