You rely on what the sellers' packaging says for your legal advice???


No, I relied on my eBay account rep's advice based on my reading him
the exact wording on the
packaging, that they were not copies of "any actual coin" but
represented the "style" of the era.


*Frank's conclusion that the "University of Oxford" endorses
these fakes is also preposterous - but then absurd rationalization
seems to be Frank's life coping mechanism.



The Ashmolean is a University of Oxford Museum and a Department of the
University, which owns the collections,
employs the museum staff, and is solely responsible for all
operations, which would include oversight on the gift shop
inventory. How is that an absurd rationalization? Of course YOU have
made such "rationalizations" that if I made
a post in RCC at 2 a.m. I must be up all night on drugs. The truth
is, that many self-employed people find themselves
working long hours that no paid employee (or fair labor laws) would
tolerate.
