Counterfeit Seller Caught

That's fantastic and shameful to see too though. Coins are now getting the same bootleg treatment as watches

This, I hope, sends a clear message to anyone with the same idea.

That was too good. I used to live in Portland and my wife worked for the company that owned the Press Hearald! Like news from home.

Glad that happened. However, just as with crime anywhere, stopping one person is easy, stopping them all is different. Not much said about who and where on line those were purchased.

Carl, most of us here know exactly where they came from (and how easy it is to get them). I'm of the opinion that it's better if the press doesn't print the source. When they do it gives every other Sithole out there the idea that they can make a quick buck by doing the same thing. They think they'll only do a few coins, then quit before anybody notices them.

I'm glad that the secret service was mentioned. I've wondered what they've been doing about the fake coin problem. It seemed to me that they only got involved when it was bad paper.

Thanks for posting the link!

Man! 15 years and a quarter-million in fines. Some people just never learned the secret of Sam Vittorio.

it is unfortunate that this only was investigated because the guy ripped off local businesses.
Otherwise, no one would have ever looked twice at the guy.
