<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1762151, member: 36230&quot;]Weird how?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I must agree with Mr.Loring in that this is not at all a disturbing change of tactics, but at most a slightly less obvious path to the same result. This really should not surprise anyone and is all the more reason to either invest in obtaining a comprehensive knowledge of what you collect, or to connect with a reputable and experienced dealer offering an absolute guarantee. Nearly every day on this very forum there are posts from people blindly buying on ebay/craigslist/in-person/wherever who do not yet possess the ability to identify a problem coin much less a quality counterfeit, and in almost all cases the reason for choosing this route is price. The &quot;deal mentality&quot; is one of the biggest problems in this hobby, and one of the biggest boons for less than respectable sellers. The small premium one may have to pay a worthwhile dealer is really nothing more than cheap insurance. Counterfeits can and should be of great concern, but there are simple and easy ways to avoid them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
