See that this crook is right in your backyard too. And again, the news media can't get the story right. "Morgan Silver Dollars were produced from 1878 to 1904 and are worth anywhere from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars". What about the 1921's? 8-) |

Suck it Goldsborough. |

Jerry ----------------- It's surprising to see that some "golden" folks are still here. I abandoned RCC early last year when I got a new computer and really didn't see any need to follow the "activity" anymore. Recently I had to ressurrect the old Win XP desktop in order to access the genealogy data my new Win 7 won't let me transfer. I saw RCC was still loaded so I took a peek. At least the noise seems to have disappeared. Wishful thinking, but maybe some coin-related posts will gradually return. I still bounce from one coin interest to another, from tokens to semi-keys, to bullion. Bruce |

When I wuz helping out at a local coin shop a few years ago, we used to get people coming in to sell their "valuable silver coinz" once or twice a week. Most eventually admitted having bought them for $3 each at a local flea market, and claimed to not know that they were counterfeit. (YES, even the "1906 Silver Eagles" ...). I always suggested they turn them in to the San Jose PeeDee or the Secret Service and try to get the seller arrested, but as far as I know he's still out there selling them to "bargain hunters" ... -- Ken Barr Numismatics * * * *email: P.

I still bounce from one coin interest to another, from tokens to semi-keys, to bullion. Bruce I still come by every once in a while to see if anything is going on. It is nice to see some of the old timers here. I haven't been very active in the coin world lately other than some discussions I have with a family (father, mother and 3 teenaged+ sons) who I met several years ago. They really became interested in coins through our discussions. And they've been very active in coins ever since. They go all over the place for auctions and also go to the summer seminars at the ANA in Colorado Springs. I still have my XP and haven't really felt the need to get a more modern machine. This machine has Outlook Express which allows me to go to the news groups easily. I replaced IE8 with Google Chrome and that works quite well. Apparently there is an incompatibility with IE9 and XP so I couldn't download it. I spend a lot of time taking art classes or playing bridge at the local community center. It gets me out of the house and lets me meet some new and interesting friends. I also get to display some of my works in sponsored exhibits. I actually sold 4 ceramic pieces and two paintings. That was cool! And, I might go to the NOVA show in Vienna this Saturday or Sunday. I haven't had much fun there since my favorite dealer passed away a few years ago. He would take a coin, look up the CDN price and double it. Then he'd sell it at half the marked price and give an extra 5-10% discount to boot. And his grading was very accurate. Now the dealers take the CDN price and double it and add 10%. And that's the price that they want. It's a different world and not as much fun. Enough for now! Richard |

No! What Reid said was the Secret Service wasn't interested in collections of counterfeit coins that he used for research with no intent to defraud anybody. And there is a big different between that and a person who knowingly buys a group of counterfeit coins and attempts to sell them as real. That is what the person in these articles did. This person obviously attempted to defraud anyone who bought these coins. And the attempt to defraud is what distinguished a copy of a coin from a counterfeit. Every counterfeit is a copy but not every copy is a counterfeit. And what distinguishes the two is the intent to defraud. All you have to do is read the definition of counterfeit. You noted some time ago that the ANA collection of counterfeits was investigated by the Secret Service and they were given a letter from the Secret Service saying that it was legal for the ANA to have that collection. I'm sure the Secret Service noted that the ANA didn't have any intent to defraud anyone with their collection. And I'm sure the ANA wasn't allowed to keep the collection solely because the Secret Service thought they were the good guys. Richard |

The ANA collection of counterfiets was actually (or became) a "reference" collection to aid in the identification of counterfeits. Quite different than an individual "professional journalist" attempting to do the same thing without the weight of the ANA as a federally chartered educational oganization....or doing it without anyone's permission. |

And the operative phrase is that neither had an intent to defraud. You really should learn the definition of counterfeit. |
