DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 01:17 am Dear xxx Xxxxxx I am responding to your complaint to the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association regarding the sale of counterfeit coins on the Kijiji website by Mr. Colin Cutler. You are a current member of the RCNA and so is Mr. Cutler. Once the complaint was received, an investigation of facts was obtained and that included a telephone interview with Mr. Cutler by a senior RCNA executive member. A teleconference call was organized for the executive board of the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association. The majority of board members from across Canada and the United States took part in the call. A lengthy discussion took place about this incident and counterfeit coins in general. The By-Laws of the RCNA are very clear about the sale and exhibiting of counterfeit coinage. A vote was taken and the decision of the RCNA was to issue a strong reprimand for these breaches of the RCNA By-Laws to Mr. Cutler. Any further breaches of the RCNA By-Laws will result in suspension or membership termination. Mr. Cutler was ill informed of the rules of Canadian law as well as the contents of the RCNA By-Laws, has taken responsibility for his actions and admits to his wrongdoing. The RCNA executive board strongly condemns the sale and exhibiting of counterfeit coins. Thank you for your concern. Sincerely, Paul Johnson Executive Secretary Royal Canadian Numismatic Association "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1223 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 11:05 am I'm hearing kudo to all, favourable, good outcome and I just don't see anything of the sort. The RCNA had an opportunity here to set an example but now everyone knows they can sell fakes until they get caught at least once with no consequences. I think the sacrificial lamb in this case is just to well liked and high up in the RCNA. I'm not a member of this organization but now I know why. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
