What is your definition of a "serious collector"? I must have missed that somewhere down the line. You can only be a serious coin collector if you are a doctor. ;-) Doctorate, apparently, not "heal people" doctor. I recommend amputation of the diseased accumulation. Those suffering from accumulationitis can always get an accumulationectomy. I have a bad case of Jeffersonitis with that dreadful steporeah that comes with this terrible infection. You don't even want to see the rash! I really feel bad for those who have Silverhoarders Syndrome--thank God for the Silverhoarders Research Institute and that wonderful recovery program created by Dr. Dansco. ;-) Troll. |

What a _remarkable coincidence_ that these two just happened to just show up here. Hey "doc". Libelous. How so, doc? You were implying I am not really a Ph.D. in a public forum. How is that not libelous? I don't suppose you can provide an actual cite for that claim. Because your number seems a bit, shall we say, suspect. The point of my post, which you evidently read (but did not grasp) is that MANY dealers on eBay are fakers of antiquities. No, doc, you said "50%". You made a specific, numeric claim. And no reasonable person would have taken my claim to mean that I have meticulously carried out a survey of eFake dealers and arrived at that precise percentage. Only a moron would have taken my statement literally. I note you haven't disputed my point, or even engaged my argument, preferring to attack me based on semantics instead. If that is your game you should know that 50% is not a numeric but a percentile. Sorry, Dr. Jackson, percentiles are not expressed with the % symbol, but rather with an ordinal suffix, such as 90th.

wrote: 50% of the dealers on eBay should be in jail. That may be true with antiquities, where the level of scams is higher than with ancient coins, perhaps the highest level of any eBay category, since antiquities are so easy to forge. But it's a gross exaggeration to say that 50 percent of the ancient coin dealers on eBay are crooks. And it's an even grosser exaggeration to say this about coins in general, with a huge majority eBay sellers of U.S. and world coin being perfectly legit. It's fine to say you don't like eBay. I'd say it's no so fine to make up statistics about it. This in no way downplays the forgery and scam problems eBay has. But you can react to this intelligently, or you can make up statistics. -- Email: (delete "remove this") Consumer: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Connoisseur: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Counterfeit: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |
