<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Canerrcoins, post: 1281307, member: 23698&quot;]In my opinion, the point of the Chinese fakes being present every day on Ebay as well as other venues has been lost........If a &quot;newbie&quot; gets burned by a fake, the odds are they are going to leave the hobby....Bad news for the entire hobby.............Again in my opinion, there is no place and or need for Replica coins.&nbsp; They can only cause problems.&nbsp; It has already been acknowledged that MOST of the garbage coming to North America is not marked.&nbsp; The dishonest now jump in........The Hobby Protection Act does nothing to protect the Numismatic hobby.&nbsp; It just gives the crooks room to wiggle into.&nbsp; A picture of your missing coin would do the same thing as a fake in your album or what ever......Canada has made moves in the right direction.&nbsp; How many of the REPLICA coins are going to surface in collections when the individual dies.........Here in Canada, a replica coin is Counterfeit.&nbsp; No more no less!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
