scary

I can think of no good reason for someone to buy that junk.

    Some people can only afford those and it is their money. The coin is being sold as a copy and for only $14.99. It is not like anyone is getting ripped.

    It scares me because I can hear the dremmels of a thousand scammers firing up to remove the copy mark as they search for the empty OGP for that coin.

    it's kinda like those commercials that always pawn off these "10 mil" pure silver coins with a "strict limit of 5 per customer" ... the one commercial states that once the trade center silver runs out the mintage will be gone forever... meanwhile there's so little silver in each coin that one silver eagle could produce 100 of these. Scamming people out of 30 bucks.

    It is stamped 10 mils .999 gold which is not the same as the mint, so even if someone takes the Dremel to it will still have the wrong gold content.

    Even with"COPY", I wonder if it's legal.
