<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 3576514, member: 86498&quot;]I would agree with Alex 22 in his conclusion that no system is fool proof. However by dealing with knowledgeable&nbsp; dealers who specialize in ancient coins does dramatically increase the odds of getting a genuine coin, than say trying your luck with Ebay. Further with most reputable dealers getting your money back should they have inadvertently sold you a forgery is not as big of a problem (Though it is still annoying). Having good provenance can also increase the odds as well. </p><p>&nbsp; However, it can be very difficult to determine if a coin is a fake simply from a photo. Some months ago we had an issue with what was likely a &quot;troll&quot; who seemed to be targeting some of the members on the site. Unless one has some form of compelling evidence one should be very careful in denouncing someones coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
