<p>[QUOTE="d.t.menace, post: 834541, member: 18944"]I think you're doing a good thing rlm. The statement by the person from ebay that it's ok to use the word replica instead of copy makes no sense at all. Making the arguement that the seller said copy in the description but the coin says replica isn't good enough,it's not the law, it's whats on the coin that matters. They don't get to decide whats legal and what isn't. The law is cut and dry and they should follow it.</p><p>What I would like to see is ebay put all replicas and reproductions as a separate main category under coins and paper money. As it is now each category like US coins ,world coins,etc. has its own replica and reproduction sub-category. It might make policing counterfeits and scammers a lot easier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
