It's unbelievable that these a**hole* aren't sitting in jail. It's a clear act of fraud. With all of the fakes out there it makes it hard for any of us true hunters to sell any of the REAL relics we recover. I personally don't sell my relics but a lot of hunters work hard to find and sell theirs. And with the large amounts that do get sold flood the markets bringing the value down on the ones that are real. And also people are Leary about bidding on these things even when they are certified authentic. This is a problem that doesn't get the attention it really deserves. Some people may honestly believe they have a handed down piece and try to sell what they honestly believe to be real but I would bet 95% of the schmucks selling this crap are nothing more then a con who knows what they are selling. This crap is unworthy of even being a paper weight. If they sat 10 days in jail for every dollar made on these pieces of scrap metal you would see things change. E-Bay shouldn't facilitate this illegal activity either. Any coin, relic, artifact or anything of significant historical value should have to have some type of authenticity required when it can be provided. Unless it is clearly described as a counterfeit, reproduction or it's history can not be proved. They may as well just print money? And E-Bays percentage should be paid with this fake printed money.
