As such, they are simply placing themselves in a position where their investment may be lost in its entirety by the reclamation of the coin by the US Treasury since the piece is illegal to possess.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, they have to have some knowledge of its rarity and as such are knowingly purchasing something for $X that is knowingly less than its true value.</p><p>The purchaser is buying with the intent to make a major profit, off someone else&#039;s loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, who loses? The seller?&nbsp; Not likely. the buyer who is (he believes) about to make a killing on a rare coin? Surely.</p><p>But, they had intended to rip off the seller anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, but a totally unknowing buyer would simply say, &quot;hey, looks nice&quot; and would not pay a lot of his money for something that means nothing to him.</p><p><br /></p><p>My final word on the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have to go find a dead horse to beat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
