[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 1009186, member: 4781"]The Chinese fakes are not made out of legally-monetized coins - so those unmarked fakes are illegal currency counterfeits on that alone. Also, the Chinese fakes purport to be coins (type, date, & mint mark) that actually exist in the numismatic market place. The Chinese fakes that are not marked "COPY" violate currency counterfeiting laws as well as the HPA. So the question of where should the line be drawn is moot. The line is already drawn (between legal and illegal items). Like I've said, altering a genuine legal-tender coin to put a date on it that the Government says doesn't exist, is on the legal side of the line (so long as the item is not mis-represented, as in fraud). If the law is vague and/or inadequate, then perhaps the law needs to be changed.[/QUOTE]
