<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 440146, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;ll answer your question.&nbsp; You can&#039;t know that someone won&#039;t sell them fraudulently in the future.&nbsp; You can&#039;t know that someone won&#039;t fraudulently sel your genuine coins in the future either.&nbsp; Shall we permanently stamp GENUINE, and the grade, and any variety ID into your real coins to keep them from possibly being misrepresented in the future?&nbsp; Slabbing won&#039;t help.&nbsp; As you say a simple notation on a holder won&#039;t do it.&nbsp; So lets permanently engrave them on all your coins in nice big letters so they can&#039;t be altered to remove them.&nbsp; After all it can&#039;t devalue them because the coin is still what it always was.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Technically, under 18 Sec 489, yes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I disagree, if there is no law prohibiting my action then I should be allowed to do it.&nbsp; If society disagrees then new laws are written to cover it.&nbsp; One way they use to get around this is that many laws today a vaguely written so that they may be &quot;stretched&quot; to cover circumstances which they may not at first appear to cover.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually in that case you will probably also find a non-specific law that covers such a circumstance.&nbsp; If it happens there isn&#039;t a law that covers it then sorry but reading a paper while driving IS legal.&nbsp; Should it be?&nbsp; No, but until a law is passed to cover it, a person who does, even if he has an accident and injures or kills someone should not be able to be charged with an offense.&nbsp; (Actually they would be charged under one of those blanket laws on the grounds of negligence in not maintaining control of their vehicle.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually several of the later pieces ARE copies of legal tender coins and do fall under the Code.&nbsp; Also the code does not require that the coins have to be current legal tender or even ever legal tender, just that they were issued for use as money.&nbsp; (A coin doesn&#039;t have to be legal tender to have been issued for use as money.&nbsp; Case in point half cents and large cents were issued a money but were not legal tender when they were issued.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
