[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2155319, member: 24633"]Aw shucks! You just made me think of something that made me chuckle during a serious discussion. I thought back to my time spent in basic training and the obstacle course which included the "low crawl" under barbed wire while live rounds from a 50 cal whizzed over our heads. I didn't see one trainee raise his head to see if it was really live ammunition! The problem as I see it, Daniel, is when the time comes that you aren't around, who is going to make sure that your fantasy pieces don't make their way into the hands of collectors of real coins? We have already noted that eBay is not enforcing the counterfeit guidelines like they used to. We even had a former employee who handled the "Report" complaints tell us that eBay was eliminating that function. Your comment about cleaned coins merely reinforces my contention. When your fantasy pieces eventually leave the hands of collectors who admire them, the rest of the numismatic community must face the strong possibility that less-than-honest sellers will have a field day hawking them as authentic.......[B][I]I'm not a professional so you be the judge.[/I][/B] Does the previous sentence sound familiar to anyone?
