[QUOTE="clembo, post: 450366, member: 8033"]Great topic Noodle and the unsuspecting do get taken to the cleaners on this. Sure, Doug has a good point but I would also have a problem if "TV pitchmen" started selling Civil War or Hard Times Tokens as genuine tokens as well if they were mere copies. Having recently posted "Reagan Dimes" here on CT this issue really struck me;) Had a few members that really liked them so I sold two. Clearly fantasy pieces but you won't see me popping them up on ebay where I could probably get ridiculous bids for 3 grams of silver. Unfortunately people that DO buy this stuff convinced that it's real find out the hard way when they try to sell them. I see it at work all too often. My boss makes a ridiculously low offer IF he makes an offer at all. Fact is, we don't really want the stuff. Just gathers dust. Unfortunately I'm afraid it's a problem we're most likely stuck with. Always a loophole somewhere.[/QUOTE]
