<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 767078, member: 15518&quot;]The problem is not in the actual selling of replica coins by our Chinese friends... it&#039;s the failure to stamp the coins with the required &quot;copy&quot; stamp. The importation of thousands of unmarked replicas into the U.S. every week guarantees that some will be resold as genuine. And whether they are offered by an unscrupulous seller or an unwary dealer is immaterial.. these forgeries are becoming harder to detect, as the planchets being used are close to the actual alloys, and laser cut dies are near perfect. Since collectible coins are generally considered non-circulating, the secret service has very little interest in this matter. They are worried about the near perfect one-hundred dollar notes coming out of North Korea, not a bunch of replica coins that are missing the &quot;copy&quot; stamp. So unless the replica is resold as genuine, there is little one can do except complain... and there are plenty of deaf ears out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
