<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2553897, member: 71723&quot;]I use an alternate strategy to protect myself. If I don&#039;t know the diagnostics needed to determine whether a coin is real or not, I don&#039;t bid OR buy. That way, a third party opinion is unnecessary and superfluous. I call it &quot;self-directed study and scholarship&quot;, a dying art.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve heard, &quot;If you don&#039;t know coins, know your dealer&quot;. I go one level higher. If I don&#039;t know a coin, I walk away. The dealer AND the certification company instantly become irrelevant. Easy peasy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
