<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ernie11, post: 211274, member: 1845&quot;]A slightly weird question: I own a dime that I submitted to ANACS many years ago and in their opinion it was not genuine.&nbsp; I understood at the time that counterfeit coins were illegal to own and should be turned over to the government.&nbsp; However, I never did that and I wonder if in reality I run any risk by not doing so. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I kept it was that it belonged to a set of old coins bequeathed to me by my grandfather, and they are (in this genealogists&#039; mind) family heirlooms that I hope to hand down to some other member of my family.&nbsp; My grandfather ran a general store in the 1920&#039;s and I am guessing this is where he obtained many of the coins he left me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, what do folks think about me holding onto this coin?&nbsp; I&#039;ve done so for nearly 40 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the dime is dated 1872-CC, so having even a fake of a scarce coin is sort of cool, too![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
