Counterfeit Morgan silver dollars from Chinese On Amazon

[Wendelin]

I called my local Secret Service office here in New York. I am awaiting a call back. I wanted to know why Amazon was able to advertise and profit from Chinese companies manufacturing near perfect counterfeit Morgan silver dollars. It is my understanding that Morgan’s are still legal US currency. If this is true , there must be a dozen Federal laws being broken by the Chinese companies and Amazon, as Amazon is conspiring in the sale and distribution of the coins. I would think that a simple cease and desist order from the Secret Service would end this disgrace? I am interested in any opinions on this matter from the group. Thank you    Wendel

Well that's quite the first post.

The Secret Service has far more to worry about than a few fake coins.

i have reported fakes to ebay - they are not even vaguely interested.

Call your congressman office. Get them involved.

Don’t hold your breath. It’s been done several times before http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?226457-Today-I-called-the-Secret-Service-to-report-fake-silver-dollars-on-Ebay

onlymtime they took action was on the Norfed Dollars https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/12/15/u-s-secret-service-bans-certain-gold-and-silver-coins-on-ebay/#33b7eaa337fe

Who cares, only an idiot would buy silver coins on Amazon, and only a bigger idiot would buy silver coins from the Chinese on Amazon.

I had a look this morning, most of them are quite open that they’re replicas the others you’d need a full frontal lobotomy to fall for them.

Any word from the super secret police?

You can report to Ebay, Amazon or whatever. They don't care and certainly not for a few dollars. Same goes for gold.

All these companies selling counterfeit, replica or fake coins make life that much more difficult for stackers/collectors. America has actually got much stiffer laws than Britain about selling replica or fake coins which is regarded as a serious federal offence.

Like what? That's a part of their job, as stated on their official website: 

"The Secret Service has primary jurisdiction to investigate threats against Secret Service protectees as well as financial crimes, which include counterfeiting of U.S. currency"
