<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 1414195, member: 15518&quot;]I don&#039;t see anywhere in this article where the FBI was involved. Regardless, this is a bad guy, but he&#039;s <i>not</i> a counterfeiter. A counterfeiter is one who manufacturers a genuine article for fradulent intent, i.e. to sell as genuine. This guy isn&#039;t doing any manufacturing... he&#039;s trying to pass off phoney coins and bullion that&#039;s he&#039;s obtained <i>from</i> the counterfeiter. I think the secret service is wasting taxpayers dollars chasing the &quot;bottom feeders&quot; when they should be concentrating more on the source (though that&#039;s probably even more of a pipe dream). These guys weren&#039;t trying to pass rare numismatic items as such, but merely as precious metals (jewelry stores pay a percentage of melt value, not numismatic value). Maybe the s.s. is trying to apease the numismatic community, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
