Message:: [QUOTE="green18, post: 987795, member: 10103"]I'm sure this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find anything regarding this pointed question.  The subject of counterfeit coins and bills has been discussed on many occasions but have we ever discussed the legality, that is to say, isn't it against the law to pass a counterfeit bill/coin in everyday commerce?  Then why do so many people get away with it while selling on e-bay?  This thread brought the thought to mind...<a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t127587/#post987775" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t127587/#post987775">http://www.cointalk.com/t127587/#post987775</a> More specifically, it was this auction....<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180556277695&ssPageNam" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180556277695&ssPageNam" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180556277695&ssPageNam</a> e=STRK:MEWNX:IT The guy's passing off an obviously fake coin as the real deal.  He already has a negative feedback regarding a counterfeit sale.  So why hasn't he been taken to task?  It's not like this guy lives in China.  The auction has been reported so why doesn't e-bay do something....like alert the proper authorities of this fraud?[/QUOTE]
