[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 438928, member: 12965"]With your answer though, you are saying once they are in your possession, whether lawful or not, it is legal to sell them. No it is not! Read the law again Doug! It says: [I][B][U]is unlawful[/U][/B] and is an [U][B]unfair[/B][/U] or [U][B]deceptive act[/B][/U] or practice in commerce under the Federal Trade Commission Act.[/I] So how you got the coins has EVERYTHING to do with whether or not it is legal. This is one part of the HPA that needs revision to make it illegal to sell them without COPY on them, no matter how or when you received them. Ribbit :) Ps: A Federal Judge could even interpret that to include selling ones that are not marked COPY and were made prior to the HPA enactment, even with full disclosure. The HPA doesn't address that so that is left to personal interpretaion as to intent of the law. This really needs to be addressed, as do so many existing laws.
