<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3427410, member: 84595"]Years ago I put on a display of antiques and coins in our hometown. The coins consisted of many counterfeits and altered pieces. Next to my display was the Secret Service with their counterfeit paper money. I had a Moon Rock they were watching in my revolving display case. When the week was over the head SS agent took me on the side and said they could confiscate the coins I had on display but they wouldn't because they were being used for educational purposes and I was not selling them. I have consulted for the SS on counterfeit and altered coins and have no problems because everything I do at coin club meetings or shows is for educational purposes. I have bought many counterfeit and altered coins for educational purposes only. ICG does a commendable job of encapsulating Counterfeit and altered coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
