<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 8537023, member: 92655&quot;]There is a great thread going about an altered Morgan that I didn’t want to trample on, but it got me to thinking about the ethics of owning a known counterfeit piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>I happen to own a contemporary counterfeit 1916-D dime. It is actually quite well done and not a Chinese piece. The “D” is added. Because I am a guy that loathes empty holes in Whitman’s the counterfeit plugs the hole while my slabbed genuine resides in my SDB. Now I am not even remotely a guy that could consider passing on a fake and the coin is doing me a service by keeping my OCD in check.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe there is a place in an honorable persons collection for a fake. They are certainly educational, but the risk always exists for the fake to find it’s way back into the market unintentionally……. So my question….. Is it ethical to keep a known counterfeit in our collections?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
