[QUOTE="davidh, post: 438755, member: 15062"]And that's exactly the problem. You all seem to conveniently ignoring the fact that, regardless of who buys or sell now, and what is or what is not said about the coins in question, some day in the future - 10, 20, 50, 100 years from now - these coins will again enter the market and become available to collectors who might not be as sophisticated as we are. Sure, you can attach a note to them describing them as fake, but that note can simply be detached and ignored. The problem should be addressed now, not put off for someone in the future. It's not the same, but it makes me think of the idea of drilling for more oil to solve the oil dependency problem, and transferring the problem of what to do to future generations 60 years from now when it finally does run out. I asked once before, and didn't get a real answer, how does marking a counterfeit as such destroy its value?[/QUOTE]
