<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 3628871, member: 22331&quot;]I believe you&#039;d find that he wouldn&#039;t have been prosecuted except for the Minnesota &quot;bullion statute/law&quot; which allows prosecution in the Federal courts for improper interstate commerce. Do you believe he&#039;s the only &quot;dealer&quot; doing what he has done. The average collector can&#039;t begin to imagine the furor that was generated amongst mom/pop &quot;dealers&quot; who trade without virtually any legal restraints, when the the interstate Federal enforcement legislation was passed. The legislation was diminished. LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you&#039;ll determine the &quot;Feds&quot; are impotent because of dealers lobbying to protect their &quot;State Rights&quot; which allow them to violate individual rights through interstate commerce.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m regularly contacted by very prominent individuals from large auction operations who don&#039;t dare come to Minnesota, but want me to send/ consign valuable coins to their out-state auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless collectors lobby for interstate correction legislation, it&#039;s believed fraudulent sales will escalate. It&#039;s highly improbable that there will be future improvement, as the unregulated Numismatic industry is very lucrative.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
