I'm amazed that people selling these are not quickly arrested. Like you said, it's the same as counterfeiting money.
I just leave the current most interesting one on my desk and the rest are in junky looking cardboard boxes that say, nothing to see here. It's...
And why does the "name brand" go for more? Marketing.
I don't know what this acid test is but it seems like your coin guy would do an XRF on it instead.

I don't think you can copyright a variety discovery. Your images of it, yes. Your article about it, sure. How are you going to "trademark" an RPD...
I recall that it was definitely going to be released in August 2020....
Heh heh. I worked up some Barber dime transition variety stuff for them which ended in February 2020 with them saying there wouldn't be space for...
