[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2727625, member: 66"]What you quoted is the section under the HPA that makes Ebay liable by providing the sales site for the fakes. Their is no requirement that the person importing them has to be doing it withthe intent to defraud, the mere act of reselling them, even if sold as non-genuine, is illegal if they are not marked. Actual text of the relevant section. (b) COINS AND OTHER NUMISMATIC ITEMS.—The manufacture in the United States, or the importation into the United States, for introduction into or distribution in commerce, or the sale in commerce of any imitation numismatic item which is not plainly and permanently marked “copy”, is unlawful and is an unfair or deceptive act or practice in commerce under the Federal Trade Commission Act. From what can see, if you buy them and bring them in to hold them for your personal use and never resell them or pass them on then it could be considered legal. (Of course if you pass on and your heirs sell the unmarked copies they would be breaking the law I think.) The actual text of the section you were refering to in your quote. (d) PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE OR SUPPORT.—It shall be a violation of subsection (a) or (b) for a person to provide substantial assistance or support to any manufacturer, importer, or seller if that person knows or should have known that the manufacturer, importer, or seller is engaged in any act or practice that violates subsection (a) or (b).
