We came across an online auction house 'Hansons' claiming to be “expert-led”, yet listing what are obvious fake coins 😳 (Filmed 15th May 2025) After spotting a discussion on The Silver Forum, we decided to dig deeper… and what we found raises serious questions about trust, due diligence, and how easily buyers (especially newcomers) could get caught out. 👉 Are auction houses always as reliable as they claim? 👉 Can you trust listings just because they come from a “professional”? 👉 What red flags should you be watching for? We break it all down — from the moment we were alerted, to the biggest warning signs, and why this situation should never have slipped through.
