coindexter Pillar of the Community United States 869 Posts	Posted 11/27/2008 01:46 am At least TV sellers don't sell fake coins and most coins they do sell are graded buy good grading companies and have return policy. Here is a big plus for me. The coin you see is what you will get. I would buy a coin and a fine watch from someone on the street selling them out of a briefcase before shopping most coins on the $-bay.

mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 11/28/2008 11:55 am great article, I almost was fooled by them but after doing research on my own, I was like "thats a rip off!" They are good at talking up a coin but just standard research will prove they are just trying to jip you Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not a big fan of higher taxes either, but according to a recent poll, most Americans do. So I guess I'm out of the loop. Quote: 2 words come to mind: Buyer Beware! Good Job with the article.

I was just stating that TV sellers send you a real coin that you don't have to inspect before you buy. Not like the fake coins we see posted on here every week that newer collectors have bought off e-bay. https://goccf.com/t/37652 At least if they did spend $100-200 on a 1921 Morgan \|\| it was a real certified one and if they didn't like it or found out latter it was a rip off they could return it without all the E-bay,pay-pal hassles.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/29/2008 7:08 pm The key to not being taken is education. Study diagnostics. A great book is the PCGS Grading Guide and Counterfeit Detection. Learn this book top to bottom especially the keys which I like to buy. Compare the "real deal" to the fakes. After a while, they are easy to spot. And also, learn the run of the series. The " Red Book" will tell you that the last Morgan "CC" was 1893. coindexter, I strongly agree with your quote: Quote: So buy only TPG slabbed coins with return policies and auctions with original large pictures of the coin you are buying. Excellent advice. If you buy raw, know the diagnostics of the genuine coin. swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 11/29/2008 7:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
