<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 82313, member: 66&quot;]Quite frequently.&nbsp; The Morgan Mint is one of these questionable organizations that markets coins, real coins, to people at inflated prices similar to those seen on the cable and satelite coin shows.&nbsp; (and as I said earlier at one time they were even marketing silver eagles in counterfeit ICG shells.&nbsp; I know because I have one of the few that got out before I contacted ICG and they shut them down.&nbsp; The Morgan Mint was having the fake shells made in China.&nbsp; they weren&#039;t sellig them AS ICG certified coins, but the unique shape of the ICG shells make them distinctive almost like a trademark and ICG acted to protect that image recognition.)&nbsp; There&#039;s a National Federated Mint that is always discovering forgotten hoards of Morgan dollars.&nbsp; They tend to market by direct mail and in magazines&nbsp; The Washington Mint is big on oversized silver rounds that look like coins, but they have also been known to market state quarters including plated and colorized ones.&nbsp; And there are others.&nbsp; (The Franklin Mint has been out of the coin business for years.&nbsp; Which is a shame because they actually did a very good job making coins.&nbsp; The coins were usually well designed and well struck.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
