I recently purchased a set of coins from a reputable dealer and decided to submit a couple of the rarest coins for evaluation. I got them back, graded as I expected but I felt a lot better because they were authenticated as real, not fakes. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Who is going to fake a common date cent or nickle? Not likely. But a 1909 S or an 1877 Indian Head Cent? Quite possibly. I had to check and I now feel satisfied that I made a good buy. Many times that is what you are looking for. It&#039;s not always for an investment. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Modern coins, a MS70 or PF70 means you&#039;ll pay and get more $$ for it. But, how many of you can tell a 70 from a 69? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
