RE: How I Collect Coins

I ran into more stationary tourist traps. Colorfully dressed old men in markets selling trinkets. Just imitations. In Poland, Greece... Actually, I don't know where I haven't met them.

Thanks for adding to the thread, everyone.

That's what I was thinking of when asking the question. I can imagine going into a market or even a shop. Yet how to tell the seller is trustworthy if not gaining expertise for my own? Let's start with silver. Are there imitations out there that might be difficult to spot even for experts without doing anything like density measurement?

You asked me a lot of questions. I will try to answer in summary. There is no absolutely reliable method for recognizing a fake coin. I always buy from one seller for whom I have obtained good references in advance. I collect the coins in person and pay upon receipt. It occurred to me that I will gradually write several articles on this topic, in which I will hopefully give more answers.
