<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 440069, member: 12965&quot;]First, on your second post links, not a single one of those are still &quot;Legal Tender&quot; so they don&#039;t fall under the 18 USC statutes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Second, I don&#039;t personally have anything against them not being marked and none of the ones I have are and I don&#039;t think I&#039;d buy any if they were, but the laws are pretty clear. If you buy counterfeits from China, without COPY stamped on them, NOT REPLICA (READ THE HPA), then you have violated federal law and can get in trouble since that qualifies as Importing. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So the laws are clear, the thing you&#039;ve brought up is, is it enforced? Answer - pretty much . . . Nope! In another thread we&#039;ve discussed &quot;Illegal Coins&quot; which are coins that were minted but never authorized for circulation and how they could be confiscated if you ever let anyone know you had one. The thing is, the $10,000 Gold Certificates is a perfect example of currency that was never authorized for &quot;circulation&quot; but peeps openly own them. They could get into trouble but the Feds have never gone after anyone for them, yet they did with the 1933 Double Eagles. Go figure? Political agendas perhaps? :goof:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So like I said, can you buy counterfeits from China and get away with reselling them without COPY stamped on them? Answer - Yup! But is it legal? Answer - Nope! So if you want to take the chance, go for it, I won&#039;t and if I buy one from someone that imported them, I will not have broken the law, so I wouldn&#039;t get in trouble because it is legal to buy them here without COPY stamped on them, since they weren&#039;t imported in the process but the seller can get into trouble. The HPA is clear on that FACT!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: If the the peeps selling them at coin shows imported the counterfeits and it&#039;s found out, they will get into trouble. Have you ever asked them where they got them from?&nbsp; :goof:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
