ICG counterfeit holder

[Nutmeg Coin]

I just saw that ICG now offers a yellow counterfeit holder: http://www.icgcoin.com/about/the-holder/the-educational-slab-for-altered-and-counterfeit-coins/

I like that idea, although I don't like the extra $7 charge for something you've technically already paid for.

It's a good idea from one aspect, but these pieces are technically illegal to own. As such it sort of puts a red, or yellow, flag on them for Secret Service to come after you.

Bill, did the new law make it illegal to own or just illegal to sell?

Interesting, they originally announced this over a year ago.

I've seen a couple of the micro O counterfeit Morgans in these slabs -- a 1902-O graded MS61 and an 1896-O graded high AU or low MS. This is a good way to "authenticate" collectible contemporary counterfeits in my opinion.
