Somebody gave me a list of dodgy sellers on the bay, and I have looked but cannot find it.

Can you post again or PM me please?
Thanks

All the list in world cannot give you the peace of mind that buying from a reputable dealer/ collector can give you. The best way is to avoid the bay until you have developed the skills and experience to shop with confidence. It is important to know what you want, to know what your tastes are and to know what you want to spend. Whenever possible get the best condition coin you can afford for the type, that way you will always be happy until you are in position to upgrade. Otherwise you put yourself at risk. Fakes of ancient coins are far less common than fakes of modern coins, and they are often a lot more obvious, once you know what to look for in the series you are interested in. I urge to take the next step and learn to read the legends and understand the symbolism if you have not already. Just remember the Gods help those who help themselves...

I hear you noob. Unfortunately, there are no dealers near to where I live. There is one, but they have a handful of coins and not very interesting at that. Until I know where I want to specialise I am stuck with the bay.

Well I do know where I would like to specialise, but I can't afford it. Owls!

You're right Noob, but I think that most of us buy on ebay as well as on vcoins.
