<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2664624, member: 80121&quot;]Yes, I&#039;m aware of that thread, and I also read a posts from members that stated that just posting to that tread when discussing Daniel Carr was a restriction on free speech. That&#039;s why this thread &quot;Latest Daniel Carr restrike just arrived&quot; was created, to discuss the latest restrike the person received, but that topic was hijacked to discuss how terrible it was to make &quot;tokens&quot; or as I call them &quot;medals&quot; that some collector might mistake for an actual coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have the ability, go to one of the cable channels that auctions coins, land, jewelry, you name it. They blatantly misrepresent medals they make as &quot;Pattern&quot; coins from the U.S. Mint. They&#039;ve even created their own grading service that strangely resembles NGC, I believe they call it NCG. As a matter of fact one of their on air coin people no longer is employed with the company. The word I got was he went to far and stepped over the line. That show would have a lot more public exposure than Moonlight Mint, yet the government has not chosen to go after them. Yes, there are people out there who don&#039;t know any better and may be fooled by people like those on TV, just ask any coin dealer who is asked to buy these &quot;coins&quot; that people buy from these TV shows or telephone solicitors, but I believe people are responsible for their own actions. I don&#039;t need government telling me things I should already know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone with any knowledge of coins knows that the elephant in the room is China. When a government not only ignores, but encourages its people to make counterfeit coins, that&#039;s a big problem, not a small businessman making tokens or medals that a segment of the collecting population enjoys enough to buy them knowing what they are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
