[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1450502, member: 75105"]I have contacted FCM with a cease and desist letter. To whom it may concern. I am an ambassador of the coin collection hobby. I noticed two products on your website that are clearly false advertising. [url]http://www.franklinmint.com/collectible-coins-bullion/additional-coin-selections/error-coins/us-state-quarter-mis-struck-error-coin.html[/url] This is one of them. These coins are not "mis-struck", they are waffled coins from the mint. Your wording makes it sound like these coins were minted like this, and they were not. The claim "error coin" is false. You also say on another link, "Accidentally mis-struck by the U.S. Mint". This claim is also false. I, XXX XXXXX, order you to cease and desist advertising those coins like this. You are clearly taking advantage of young and or new coin collectors, making them think they are buying an actual error coin. Failure to change the advertising to correct information, by stating these are not errors, but "destroyed", "mint cancelled" or "Waffled" coins, by fifteen (15) days will result in possible legal action, by my attorney.[/QUOTE]
