<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinguy56, post: 997231, member: 27133&quot;]I don&#039;t consider myself a newbie and I don&#039;t consider myself as a coin expert. But I do study on how to spot counterfeit 1909-S VDB Wheat cents, as well as any other major rare dates such as the 1916-D Mercury Dime. I pretty much know better on to buy certified examples of any rare coin that&#039;s likely to be counterfeited. Wether if its on the internet or at a coin show, unless I know for SURE that the coin is authentic. Which no one can ever be so sure without being a top expert. Even though I have been collecting for 5 years, I learned a few times about counterfeits. I was too lucky that it didn&#039;t happen to me with any rare coin that fetches 100&#039;s of dollars or even 1000&#039;s. When ever it comes to grading, no, I am no expert but decent after all. Really, all I specialize in, is determing what the coin is, but not authenticy. Leave that to the top grading companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;ll go in between newbie and expert. More close to the newbie bar than expert bar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
