    What about the telemarketers? Or are they included in the "NT hypsters"?

    I guess to really hit the Doc's you go after the distributers and educate the public. image

    I would be hitting the market sellers of all the fake crap on ebay.

    dr.'s would be last, the more they keep toning...the more valuable mine will be in the future.

    Strange that Dorkkarl hasn't posted to this thread. Think he's on the run already? image

    Only those that commit some kind of fraud etc.

    If someone wants to bake or blow torch coins, to my knowledge there is nothing illegal or even wrong with that. Yes, it may damage coins but if it's my coin I can do with it as I please. Now if I try to defraud someone after something I did to the coin, that's different.

    After all that talk last year with no apparent results the alleged coin posse is clearly just a lot of talk and really doesn't want to go after anybody because the alleged posse members have friends, family, & suppliers whom they would have to alienate themselves from and possibly face loss of income, failure of their business, and libel lawsuits so I voted to do after dorkkarl because......well I don't know why. Just because.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    EXACTLY, the key word is "suppliers". Shhhhhh.....

    I know who the big coin doctors are. Does the posse know who they are? I am sure that they do. It's like I said before, this is a venture that just will not work, for too many reasons to elaborate on in this post.

    But, to respond to this poll, I think that you should add a choice to your poll: The eBay Scammers. They are the easiest targets. Since the "Coin Doctor Posse" has so much "weight" (e.g. influence) in the hobby, then why not start with the area that urgently needs help and is probably the easiest mission to accomplish? They could report all of the counterfeit auctions, AT crap, etc. Maybe even strike a deal with eBay that would give them the choice to determine which auctions should be pulled. The eBay people who make the decision now know nothing about coins.

    And if that doesn't work, then nail DorkKarl!

    He's also probably running to Mexico. The Posse can't be far behind.

    When Congress doesnt want to really do something about

    a problem, they create a blue ribbon committee to produce

    a 500 page report which is then ignored. The posse is such a

    PR program to instill confidence that something is being done

    while nothing is being done. We have all seen it before and I

    am sure that wewill see it many times in the future.

    I'm not sure what the "posse" could legally do that may not also generate a lawsuit a la ACG.

    Your honor this man BAKES his coins!!!
    So? What's the problem?
    Well your Honor, he tries to make them look like these NT coins that are worth a lot of money.
    These coins are worth a lot of money? They look like these coins that you say are baked.
    That's my point your Honor. He's making coins that look NT.
    How do I know the NT coins were not baked? Is there a difinitive test to prove if a coin was baked or not?
    ...
