Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2178565, member: 15929"]I laugh! Exactly Right! Lets see now, who do you suppose was the impetus behind the 1st run through on the HPA? Could it have possibly been ...........coin dealers? Dealers with enough money to get congresses attention? And who do you suppose was the impetus behind the 2nd run through on the HPA?Could it possibly have been big money TPG's and Coin Dealers that have enough resources to get congressed attention? I mean. it's not like eBay went to the FTC and its not like any ordinary citizen can go running to the FTC and expect responses. It takes money and standing in the business world. Of course, the HPA itself only says that its ok to sue these guys but you've got to make the initial suit which requires searching for an attorney willing to take the case on a contingency that they would win or at least get their $110,000 for fees and filing. It's not like some Federal Officer is going to come out and start arresting folks. As for the inheriting coins and then joining one of the many collectors clubs to submit the coins? Sure, there are threads out there of folks doing this but only after they've gotten opinions from the forum participants. For that matter, there are folks out there that submit stuff which makes one wonder what the heck they are thinking submitting an XF-45 1969-S Lincoln? (Hopefully they didn't get scammed into buying one of the MDD coins thinking it was the elusive 1969-S DDO.)[/QUOTE]
