<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2608043, member: 73165&quot;]Ok, fine.&nbsp; Let&#039;s suppose it did happen.&nbsp; Let&#039;s suppose someone found a Dan Carr 1922-D half dollar overstrike, looked it up in in a price guide and found it wasn&#039;t there.&nbsp; What do they do next?&nbsp; Look it up in another price guide and find it&#039;s not there as well?</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, by golly, I&#039;ve got this coin that isn&#039;t listed in any price guide!&nbsp; It must be a new, and valuable discovery that somehow fell into my lap after 90+ years.&nbsp; Maybe I can sell it to someone who will give me a lot of money for it.&nbsp; Someone like... a coin dealer, maybe?</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin dealer tells the person what it is, and offers him or her an appropriate amount of money for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s where the story ends.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for some unsuspecting schmuck being duped by someone else selling these things as authentic, I think that is a rather farfetched scenario.&nbsp; There are far easier ways to part gullible people from their money.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, let&#039;s be charitable and assume it happens.&nbsp; That seller has committed fraud, and can be prosecuted for it and forced to make restitution to the victims.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t matter if they were selling 1922-D overstrikes or magic beans.&nbsp; The person they&#039;re selling to obviously doesn&#039;t have a lick of sense.&nbsp; I could take a sledgehammer to some concrete blocks and convince them it was pieces of the Berlin Wall.</p><p><br /></p><p>That doesn&#039;t mean it would be any less sad, but just as the makers of concrete blocks aren&#039;t to blame, neither is Dan Carr.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
