[QUOTE="chip, post: 704332, member: 19122"]It seems to me the words most given to interpretation in the law, are the ones about intent, is ebay intending to defraud by allowing the posting and selling of unmarked counterfeits? Take away the counterfeit auctions and how much profit does ebay forego? How have they responded to requests to clean up counterfiet sales? At what point does reasonable care to not break the law morph into carlessness about whatever is sold? Then how about sellers who purchase tons of counterfeits and then list the same on ebay as being real or feigning no clue as to their origin? I think intent is pretty clear in that case. I do not think that possession of counterfeits is evidence of intent to defraud, but I think that a set of stamps to stamp the word copy on the coin would keep the counterfeit collection from being confiscatable. Plus it could be fun doing it, it would give some appreciation of those early die makers at the mint who hand stamped the stars and lettering into the dies.[/QUOTE]
