Knowingly dealing in a product of a questionable nature immediately brings ones reputation into question does it not?


Byers reputation is dealing with products of a questionable nature.
Seems to me that the RCM doesn't care too much about "Questionable" items otherwise they would be pursuing the matters.
Is this really much different then say a Variety store selling cigarettes?

The problem I see with these "Back door Errors" is that they not only diminish the rarity and value of the error coins found legitimately by the noodling fraternity, They pretty much make a mockery of error coins per se when they are artificially produced via "Mint Sport".
Also as most collectors are fully aware that a large percentage these "Errors" are illegally sourced and that some of the high profile dealers/experts are facilitating the sale of them, It tends to tarnish the reputations of other dealers unfairly.

There was a posting in the Aussie error section regarding a 2014 dollar multi struck beauty of an error coin as I commented on at the time, also I believe there are some head, head or tail, tail coins in Aussie coinage, my thoughts are just enjoy them, these types of cool errors are far and few between and if the RCM doesn't seem to care much of how they got out, it's not the dealers or collectors problem.
