<p>[QUOTE=&quot;A.J., post: 1475421, member: 35316&quot;]Counterfeiting has always been a problem in coin collecting.&nbsp; But I don&#039;t see how more government intrusion is the solution.&nbsp; The solution is to study up on counterfeit detection, not to get Big Brother to make new laws infringing on the free market.</p><p><br /></p><p>When a person knowingly sells a counterfeit as the real thing, it is fraud.&nbsp; That&#039;s all the law we need.&nbsp; Forcing private businesses to stamp &quot;copy&quot; on coins is an unfair infringement on their right to conduct business as they see fit.</p><p><br /></p><p>If somebody wants to make a copy of a rare coin without stamping copy on it, that is their prerogative.&nbsp; So long as it isn&#039;t being passed off as real, there is no fraud and nobody&#039;s rights are violated.&nbsp; It is only when the copied coin has been sold as real that fraud has been committed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
