| Something like this ad immediately raises a red flag! The prices shown here are 1/3 of normal market prices. All these coins are very attractive and in good condition. Why would someone almost give away such beauty? The seller was totally unknown. Soon it was discovered that all these coins are fakes! This was not a suprise for me. Long ago I learned: Buy only from a reputable dealer who gives a guaranty of authenticity for life. Beware of "good deals" and of "deals too good to be true". Who knows how many lovers of ancient coins have been burned! |
