<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 6506372, member: 66"]We looked at the coins, applied what we knew of grading, determined whether it had been cleaned or not from our experience, and judged it's value from experience, price guides, and real world comparison to other similar coins we have seen. From this we decided whether or not we were willing to pay the price asked. If you were worried about fakes the answer was to study and know as much about the coins as you could. It is called personal knowledge.
