<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1001582, member: 15199"]Daniel, when these start to appear on ebay, and purchased by the unknowing, who show up here with a coin, they think is as you say, a real US coin, and worth unbelievable money....We say what ? Gee, you should have read the literature better, or that darn ebay dealer took advantage of you. I can see some of the logic you use, but will you feel any guilt at possibly producing the means that many newcomers or unsuspecting will be parted with their money by fraudulent middlemen? When the Chinese produce counterfeits and sell to a foreigner whose country doesn't require "Copy", and that person resells it to a "dummy", we feel the main blame is the Counterfeiter, and not as much the middleman.</p><p><br /></p><p>The idea that everyone is responsible for researching every coin offer before buying is proclaimed, but experience on this forum tells me, that there is a sucker born very frequently. So why do this to the numismatic community? I have enjoyed articles about your mint , and the wonderful products you have produced in the past. I am no stranger to your work and reputation. This is like a respected chemist in numismatics developing a process to produce AT coins that can pass 100%. They can say it is legal, the coin is real, it doesn't have to be identified in any way, but many would hate it and the inventor. I acknowledge your openness in doing this, and your right to make a living, but I feel it is wrong in the long run. IMO. </p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
