<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3427163, member: 92655&quot;]I never been one for delving into legal verbiage and the like. Knowingly selling a counterfeit anything is morally and hopefully legally wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>I struggle a bit with this. I have a counterfeit 1916-D Mercury dime in my dime book. I keep the real 1916-D in my bank box. The counterfeit was actually done quite well. It was an added mintmark done many years ago. I sometimes struggle with the moral dilemma of owning the piece. I could never attempt to market it as genuine. But then again, I also believe there is something of a numismatic history attached to the piece. I have settled with a written note in the book stating the piece is counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I did have a dark side and chose to market my counterfeit 1916-D I would fully expect that I would suffer the legal consequences of my action. However I also somewhat doubt that the FBI has the resources to track down and prosecute a guy marketing a counterfeit. And that is too bad considering personal morality these days seems a rare trait.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
