  I wonder how the seller would react if he got a legal notice from the ANA's lawyers notifying him that the item is counterfeit, quoting the US Code, and offering to sue him under the Hobby Protection Act?

  But, then, ANA has go backbone for positive, direct action to curtail counterfeiting.

  So that's how to preserve an $8,000 coin... in a 2x2 with staples?

  Obvious fake, the staples were in backwards.

  Maybe he has another one with the staples sticking out that will put a big scratch on this one. This one time when I approve of staple scratches and lots of them.

  Counterfeit. The reverse is from the later type that was introduced in 1917. The whole thing is a fabrication.
