A very interesting article and definitely a move in the right direction.
But, maybe too little ...too late?

Mwashuma M. Sithole - lots of thoughts come to mind when a counterfeiter has a last name like the latter.

Yes, this guy is obviously a sithole but I'm also surprised that pawn shops are fooled this easily.

That's one.

Just 10 months in prison? If I spit on the sidewalk I would get 3 months! No wonder people keep doing this.Thanks for the post!

Yep, being from Maine (and near the area), I have encountered this. I have had people offering some VERY nice and rare coins for a good price. Then you see them and it's that "too good to be true" feeling, and I'm right! Last one I encountered has a fistful of key and semi key merc's and barbers in AU/BU condition. Broke the man's heart when I took a few (with his permission) and added a true silver, then shook them in my hand. As many know, silver pings and fakes thud. End of that story for now I guess.
