<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1246378, member: 26302"]Yes sir it is. As long as the Chinese have no respect or consideration of US laws, or at least no repurcusisons for violating it, it will continue. Not mean to be bashing, but our companies lose tens of billions a year to Chinese counterfeiting, with music and movies pirated every day, patented medicines copied, almost every form of intellectual property simply stolen. Now it is happening to coins, but it has been happening to other industries for decades. Since nothing has happened with all of the other industries that piracy is rampant in, I very much doubt US politicians will have the nerve to stop this either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its enough to make you stop in your tracks, no? What happens when the general public is too afraid of counterfeits to buy coins? What happens when even collectors are too gun shy of even slabs to risk spending $200 on a slabbed coin they are not positive of? I think the improving quality of this flood of fakes could very well destroy this hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
