Whether or not people feel they should be responsible for educating and protecting themselves is immaterial to the protections provided to them by law. The law doesn&#039;t care that a numismatist would recognize a Carr coin and likely have that be the end of it. The law cares that Joe Smoe isn&#039;t going to recognize it and if he obtains one in some round about way and then peddles it to Steve Smoe at an exorbitant price because Steve&#039;s an idiot also. Or worse perhaps Joe uses it to pay for his smokes at 7-11. The hope is that marking requirements solve that when the Smoe&#039;s see the copy stamp, but we&#039;ve even seen on this forum people post asking about replicas with copy stamps thinking they are the real thing. And anyone whose seen that occur, yet can&#039;t imagine it occurring with an unmarked &#039;imitation numismatic item&#039; in the same fashion is beyond me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
