Message:: [QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 439436, member: 12965"]What you are not understanding Doug, is there is a major difference between 18 USC and 15 USC: 15 USC is Commerce & Trade 18 USC is Crimes & Criminal Punishment The two are not one-in-the-same and 18 USC is where they define punishment for crimes defined in other US Codes, like 15 USC. So the Hobby Protection Act, which is in 15 USC, clearly states that it is ILLEGAL to IMPORT unmarked counterfeits into the United States, which means it is ILLEGAL to sell them after IMPORTING unmarked counterfeits without marking them first, and 18 USC defines the punishment. Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Ps: I will say it again, it is without doubt that you can get away with it but the original question was, is it legal and since the coins in question were imported, the correct answer is NO! Pps: Another thing you left off is the title of Chapter 25: CHAPTER 25 - COUNTERFEITING AND FORGERY I don't see the words "Hobby Protection Act" in that?[/QUOTE]
