<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MVC, post: 341983, member: 5290&quot;]I have a different type of question for those with a legal background.&nbsp; If a seller intentionally sent wrong coins, or knowingly sold dipped coins without disclosure or other Superfluous Grading Scams, and these items were sent through the US mail, does that not constitute mail fraud?&nbsp; Is the “intent to defraud” too hard to prove?&nbsp; Or am I way off base on that?</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is from USPS.com</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Title 18, United States Code</i></p><p><i>Section 1341.
