I've got some good news to share which will lift a tremendous burden off you: Your beliefs, your assertions, are totally baseless and without foundation. Nobody is monitoring coin threads and translating English into Mandarin. You give counterfeiters way too much credit. North Korea's $100 "super dollars" was a far greater threat. Your spiel, "WE DO NOT," goes well beyond suspicion and borders on paranoia. You may be one of the nicest members on the Forum, and I love your token thread, but there are much bigger fish to fry. You have forgery, misrepresentation, impersonation and counterfeiting in all fields of endeavor: documents, books, paintings, autographs, perfumes, handbags, cyber security, hacking, historical artifacts and plain old IRS scams aimed at senior citizens -- one guy even tried to peddle an autobiography of Howard Hughes. Clifford Irving never could have anticipated Mr. Hughes would speak out. He hadn't been seen or heard from in years. Big mistake.
From your vantage point, a virtual trickle can seem like a tsunami. How does illegal coins stack up against illegal drugs. Is there a Pablo Escobar of counterfeits? If it ever becomes a real and not just an over-exaggerated threat, the issue will be addressed, accordingly. And if it isn't, the problem is a comparatively minor one. Until that time comes, there are far greater threats posed than coins easily identifiable as outright fakes. Stating what is self-evident, wrong metal, is not disclosing sensitive national security intelligence. Let's not misidentify the common cold for the omicron variant.
Sorry, but a tabulation of nays and yeas does not contribute one iota to the body of numismatic knowledge. I will defend with my life your right to express an opinion, but until circumstances dictate otherwise, I'm holding fast to mine. If the emperor shows up without clothes, I will state the obvious.
In the meantime, we can agree to disagree without being disagreeable. Right? 😉 🐓
