<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2951939, member: 40017&quot;]I found myself in an uncomfortable position today:</p><p><br /></p><p>I was at an antiques auction here in the UK. There were a few coin lots including two US dollars advertised simply as an 1879 and an 1880. These were not my particular interest, but I checked them over quickly. They both bore the CC mark for Carson City and were both obviously fake, so I crossed them off my list.</p><p>When the bidding got underway I was surprised to see any bids at all on these and dismayed to see them bid up into the Hundreds of Pounds bracket. I badly wanted to shout out to prevent these part-time coin collectors from getting burnt, but I lacked the courage. </p><p><br /></p><p>Should I have intervened? Would you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
