HELLO OLD COIN COLLECTORS...

EBAY DO TRY VERY, VERY HARD TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTUMERS FROM FRAUDULENT HARM, AND FOR THIS, I THANK, AND COMMEND THEM FOR THEIR STERLING EFFORTS, BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT MEASURES MUST BE TAKEN NOW, AT THIS PRESENT TIME, TO LOBBY GOVERNING AUTHORITIES, IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS, (NOT ONLY NOW, BUT ALSO THEIR CUSTOMERS OF THE FUTURE), FROM WHAT I PERCIEVE TO BE A VERY SERIOUS, AND LOOMING PROBLEM.. I BELIEVE THAT BIG EFFORTS MUST BE MADE NOW, (ALSO BY BUYERS, AND SELLERS) TO STEM FUTURE FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY WHICH WILL BE PERPETRATED BOTH, (KNOWINGLY, AND UNKNOWINGLY)...

I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE VERY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES, WHICH WILL COME TO PASS, (IN AN EVER GROWING MEASURE) AS A RESULT OF (LEGAL COIN REPRODUCTIONS) BEING LOOSED INTO THE WORLD OF COIN COLLECTING.. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL (COPY COINS) MADE WITH OBVIOUS COPY MATERIALS, A MATERIAL WHICH WILL EASILY BE ASSERTAINED AS NOT BEING GENUINE..

IN RELEASING THESE (OVER REALISTIC) REPRODUCTION/COPY COINS INTO THE COIN COLLECTING WORLD WE ARE SOWING BITTER SEEDS, WHICH WILL RESULT IN PROFOUND, AND HEARTBREAKING FUTURE PROBLEMS, AND WILL, (AS I HAVE ALREADY SAID) BE EVIDENT AN AN EVER INCREASING WAY AS YEARS, DECADES, AND CENTURIES COME AND GO...

IN THE FUTURE I PREDICT A GREAT NUMBER OF "FRAUDULENT" AND "UNSAFE" COIN TRANSACTIONS TAKING PLACE TO THE GREAT UNHAPPINESS OF A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE, (INCLUDING EBAY, WHO WILL FIND THEMSELVES WASTING AN EVER INCREASING AMOUNT OF TIME, TRYING TO MEDIATE BETWEEN SELLER, AND BUYER, WHERE AN EXPERT WILL BE REQUIRED TO ASSERTAIN WHETHER THE PURCHASE BE GENUINE OR NOT)... IF THE COIN IS JUDGED TO BE A REPRODUCTION, THE SELLER WILL BE ABLE TO SAY, "OH, I DID NOT KNOW", ALL BECAUSE OF THE OVER REALISTIC NATURE OF A REPRODUCTION COIN...

I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE "REPRODUCTION" COINS", AND I FIND IT VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM AND THE GENUINE ARTICLE... I BELIEVE THAT THIS CANNOT BE RIGHT!!!... MANY OLD COIN PURCHASERS OF THE FUTURE WILL ONE DAY SAY, "WHY DID THE AUTHORITIES PERMIT THESE "LEGAL FORGERIES" TO BE LOOSED INTO THE WORLD OF COIN COLLECTING... THE (R) = REPRODUCTON, OR (C) = COPY, WHICH SOME REPRODUCTION COMPANIES INCORPORATE WITHIN THEIR DESIGNS CAN, AND WILL BE REMOVED WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE APPEARANCE OF THE COPY COIN, DUE TO THEIR INCORPORATED TIME WORN APPEARANCE...

IF FUTURE PROBLEMS CAN BE FORSEEN WITHIN THE WORLD OF COIN COLLECTING TODAY, THEN SURELY WE SHOULD ACT AND STOP IT!!.. SURELY, IT MUST BE OUR RESPONSIBILTY TO PROTECT THE FUTURE INTEGRITY OF OLD COIN COLLECTING...
