So hard to read that.....is there a synopsis some where?
bob:)
It should be noted, this isn't the full text, but just a change to one small section on page 4. The full text is available here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/part-304
This little tidbit at the bottom right of the 2nd page is interesting:
Additionally, the Commission found that it was unnecessary to amend the Rules to address specific collectible items (such as ‘‘fantasy coins,’’ as some commenters suggested) because it can address specific items as the need arises.21 Notably, the Commission has addressed whether coins resembling government-issued coins with date variations are subject to the Rules. In re: Gold Bullion Int’l, Ltd., 92 F.T.C. 196 (1978). It concluded that such coins should be marked as a ‘‘COPY’’ because otherwise they could be mistaken for an original numismatic item.
I'd guess that this tidbit will generate a bit of discussion on the boards re: @dcarr pieces.

Good
