<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2156748, member: 4781&quot;]I&#039;ve been a collector since 1970. I enjoy the hobby. If I really wanted to &quot;make more money&quot; I could have clandestinely produced numerous actual counterfeits of known coins and sold them fraudulently for a lot of money. But I haven&#039;t, and I won&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is, for example, far more information available today about Morgan Dollars (VAMs) than there has ever been. Internet sites such as VAMworld.com are a continual work-in-progress with all the latest information going into them and that information is continually being reviewed and validated. Information about coins is increasing, not decreasing.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is one thing to not know anything about coins. It is entirely different to actually spend a lot of money on a coin when you know nothing about coins. You keep implying these hypothetical situations. Do you have actual evidence ?</p><p><br /></p><p>If a &quot;con artist&quot; is intent on pulling off a scam, they will find some coin to do it with. Whether it be an altered date added/removed mint mark, a cleaned/whizzed coin, or an outright counterfeit, the scammer will find some way to do it. The problem is not the coin itself. The problem is the person committing the fraud.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you intentionally victimize someone by shooting them with a gun, is the gun to blame, or is the shooter to blame ?&nbsp;&nbsp; It sounds like you would blame the gun.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would blame the criminal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
