    ive never heard of it being against the law but it also thought it would be if you could prove somebody basically robbed you of your money but now at least it is actually a written law !!

    Not yet it isn't. The bill has merely been introduced, they are trying to make it a law.

    Fraud? It most certainly is against the law.

    I bought a Graded PCGS MS 70 1960 Washington Quarter. When it arrived it basically had a gouge just above the date on the coin. Don't know how he hid it in the pics but needless to say, I got burned for over a grand. I tried contacting the seller, but he closed his account and I never got my money back. I don't think it would have done any good making it illegal. 1 because he used a fake identity on ebay and 2, he was from a foreign country. He may as well have been on the moon. Sometimes you just lose one.

    I'm pretty sure it was a fake slab. It was an older one and the printing didn't look quite right. I still have the coin around here somewhere. If I find it I'll post pictures.

    It was a fake slab . . . According to the PCGS Pop Report, the highest 1960 25c graded by PCGS is only an MS67.
