[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 133114, member: 4350"]Hi, This is not an anti trust issue and that post has no bearing on anything. There are laws that apply to misrepresentation of an item for sale and that is what is going on here. There is an interstate conspiracy to sell overgraded coins to the uneducated public and it is the laws pertaining to that that are in play here. What is going on here appears not to be an attempt to compete but an attempt to defraud the public. It would be like a jeweler knowingly selling cut glass to an uneducated person and calling it a diamond. The person is counting on the jeweler to be honest and has the full expectation that he now owns a diamond. The jeweler is hoping that the person never gets the purported diamond checked out by an expert in the field. In fact, the jeweler is counting on the fact that the hoax will go unnoticed long enough for it to be forgotten or pass a Statute of Limitations. That is what is going on here. Hoaxes, Bait and Switch and preying on the ignorance of non-collectors. What's worse is that some will make excuses for this behavior. Bill[/QUOTE]
