How Do You Verify Your Coin? ;-)

The position I hold, forces me to educate myself. Learning about coins is endless ... researching a specific coin, its stats and attributes is so rewarding and fun.

I went with "Innocent until". I haven't been doing this nearly as long as most of you so I don't have enough experience to identify a forgery. So, I try to purchase from the most reputable sellers that I can find.
As far as online vendors the majority of my purchases have been from APMEX. They are a big company and have a very good reputation. I have never received a coin from them that I had reason to doubt.
On ebay I only buy from sellers that have tens of thousands of transactions and a 98% or higher rating.
None of my coins will ever be sold because they will be handed down to my children. If there are any forgeries in my collection I will never know about it.
