<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lord Geoff, post: 2164662, member: 42001&quot;]I&#039;m sure many of you know about this, but I was watching an American Greed about it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnbc.com/id/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In a nutshell, these guys were telemarketing and cold calling folks and selling them way overgraded coins.&nbsp; When eventually convicted, one of the brothers from prison hired a hit man to &quot;behead the judge and prosecutor and keep their heads in formaldehyde.&quot;&nbsp; Nice guys.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, here is the question I don&#039;t understand.&nbsp; The brothers were selling overgraded coins, but not counterfeit or anything like that.&nbsp; One fellow who bought &quot;$140,000&quot; of coins had them appraised at about $20,000, which makes sense (think buying a nice MS66 whatever that actually is a cleaned piece of junk.&nbsp; 1/7 of value seems about right.)&nbsp; So how is that different from any other basement slabber?&nbsp; Or is all basement slabbing illegal?&nbsp; I am confused by the whole thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
