I am sorry, but I accidentally deleted this
thread due to a combination of a small screen, cataracts, and my extreme distraction due to annoyance of
a post claiming a coin must be genuine because it was sold by a reputable dealer and naming that dealer. I was trying to modify the message removing the name but accidentally hit delete
thread. I don't know anyone can be reading this discussion regularly and post that. We do not name sellers here unless they are on the
NFSL. We do not assume a coin is genuine regardless of who sold or is
selling it. EVERYONE makes mistakes. There is no dealer or
auction that has not both withdrawn
fakes after listing them and sold
fakes. For most purposes a reputable expert seller is
good reason to believe a coin is genuine, but it is not certain and should not be considered in our discussions. We aren't here to just talk about the crap on
eBay.
