[QUOTE="Insider, post: 18627711, member: 24314"]Dear John, :yawn: You are trying a very sly trick by bringing the "[COLOR=#b3b300][B]Straw Man[/B][/COLOR]" into this thread. I understand English pretty well and I failed to read anywhere in this thread about folks that collect counterfeits suggesting that they be sold to unsuspecting collectors. :yawn: Unfortunately, counterfeit coins have been around long before you, I, or our Great, Great, Great, Great Grandparents were born. ;) Today, the Chinese counterfeit coin problem is on the Treasury Depts back burner. They EXIST. Some of the [B][COLOR=#ff0000]Chinese garbage [/COLOR][I][COLOR=#000000]are[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=#000000]already[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000] collectable items[/COLOR][/B]. People buy them for whatever the reason and people collect them for whatever the reason. I suggest you don't lose any sleep over it. Nothing reasonable that has been done to protect greedy or ignorant collectors has worked. :( PS I'll bet that for every counterfeit you melt that 200 are being struck to eventually replace it. :D[/QUOTE]
