    Yea, I saw this the other day. Very sad and frustrating to see the fraud taking place. It’s been going on forever but now it seems you have state actors (China) involved in the fraud, either willfully or just passively allowing it. If you’re buying anything of value you either have to limit who you are buying from to very knowledgeable sellers or become an expert yourself.

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

    Sad situation... Though counterfeiting coin has always been done, it certainly has become a major issue now. Thanks for the video. Cheers, RickO

    Preying on the uneducated is as old as time itself. People looking for Santa Claus is a recipe for disaster. You have manufactures trying to defraud. You have shady "dealers" in the US contracting to defraud though China manufactures. People trying to separating you from your money are thick in numbers.

    I've been ripped off by employees of the Post Office ( they police themselves) so don't count on government agencies, USMint, Secret Service etc to save the day.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    That's not accurate actually... investigations regarding the USPS are part of the OIG (The Office of the Inspector General) in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and they work with the FBI if needed on investigations.

    Its supposed to work like that. Im speaking from personal experience. I made it to the OIG. They kicked it back to the Post Master General. Everybody at the Postal Service who spoke to me off the record said the Post Office polices their own and the OIG rarely steps on their toes.

    The very first person I contacted was Doug Davis
