<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2478862, member: 19615&quot;]For the record, the dealer in question has told me that &quot;his&quot; Ebay sales are a separate operation, almost completely distinct from the venerable auction house that bears his name. He is as involved in the conventional auctions as one would expect, but Ebay is a different animal entirely. The Ebay sales are pretty much an assembly line, grinding through a LOT of coins in a hurry, with minimal oversight from <b>any </b>expert and none at all from the eponymous dealer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Note that I don&#039;t see this as any sort of justification for the egregious errors and fakes in the firm&#039;s Ebay listings; if anything this casual wink and nod attitude is worse than outright incompetence. Note also that while it&#039;s absolutely true that <i>no </i>dealer in ancient coins, no matter how expert, can honestly claim never to be fooled by a fake or altered coin, this firm&#039;s conventional auctions also offer far more than their share of questionable items and worse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
