[QUOTE="Marc Aceton, post: 2000489, member: 72101"]Dear Jeff, I think networking among collectors and obtaining an independent perspective of well-versed coin dealers before a purchase are essential to make good investments. In this current internet age, inexperienced collectors have an easier time. As I started collecting ancient coins, I remember quite well that my numismatic world was pretty small consisting of just one single coin dealer. Of course, he was cheating me a couple of times selling me overpriced heavily tooled bronzes. Since knowledge regarding coins was not easy to acquire, I did not have any chance to recognize this or even to defend myself. When I encounter this person today on a coin fair, I can fortunately ignore this person or even laugh at him since my numismatic horizon expanded enormously quite well thanks to the internet. Nevertheless, I know young collectors who paid also nowadays much dearly even though one might think that they become better informed via the internet. I think that dearly definitely belongs to every collector's life. Greetings, Marc[/QUOTE]
