'64 halves still getting huge premiums on Ebay. Madness.

This forum is for discussing hunting and collecting US and Canadian circulation Silver Bullion Coins, other types of minted bullion, and other types of precious and base metal investments other than Bullion Pennies and Nickels.

I've been meaning to ask: if ASE's are money...and obviously they are, $1 coins...and we have a Secret Service that's supposed to investigate counterfeiting, and Alibaba is known to counterfeit ASE's....what am I missing?

Has the SS been told to stand down in regards to a Chinese company for...what exactly. Political reasons? To aid in disrupting and generally unsettling the silver market?


I don't know how our Secret Service could prosecute any company in another country. If they're doing something that is legal in their country, I'm not sure there is a thing we can do. I don't know for sure that it is legal, but I don't hear much about Chinese authorities cracking down much on counterfeiting. So, even if it is technically illegal, it seems to me that it is similar to a highway with a posted speed limit where everyone knows the cops will leave you alone if you don't go over 85mph.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.
