    doug444 STAMPS and POSTCARDS too!

    Start your "shopping" on Alibaba, a Chinese marketplace something like eBay:

    As you can see, hundreds if not thousands of designs, buy in quantity from 1 to 1,000. I would like to see one of the Canadian silver Maple Leaf "souvenir" coins, or one of the 2013 silver Eagles, to see if they are detectable.

    You almost feel that coin collecting, as we know it, is doomed.

    Numismania You hockey puck!!

    I was perusing the CU forums......check out member 1868LargeCent. Seems his mission is to get ALL sellers of fakes, whether they realize it or not, at least NARU'ed...even mentions getting the FBI involved...LOL Must be spending 25 hours a day looking at every single raw coin listed in the U.S coins category (obviously has no life). That single member is going to drive away some members, or at least drive them to have meltdowns. Any that have been aggravated to the point of wandering away, 'Welcome'. Just hope he doesn't show up here....

    Did you know that Yahoo owns a large share in Alibaba?

    That particular poster has a lot of enthusiasm which does get on my nerves. Especially when he's wrong.
