<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2176062, member: 28107"]You don't know that; no one knows the fate of every one of his coins. If someone has been duped by it, it may not be published. Not every case of fraud makes the newspaper. Moreover, the person might still not know that he or she was duped. Look at all of the idiots that buy from self slabbers on eBay and leave positive feedback like "accurate for the grade" and "amazing coin" when they are likely getting a problem coin/piece of dreck.</p><p><br /></p><p>And what about people who inherit one of his creations and then waste hundreds (under the Rarity or Ultra Express Tier or whatever they call it) in grading fees, postage, and insurance, only to be told that it is a knock off? Do you all not see that as an injury? And there are people that are not well off financially that will do anything for a sense of hope. Look at all of the impoverished that play the lottery hoping to strike it rich when the odds of being struck by lightning twice are better! Also look at the subprime mortgage crisis! I guess it is just too bad for them; who cares if they fall prey to a non-genuine 1964-D Peace Dollar?! Who cares if the uneducated and poor are taken advantage of, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
