Its a bit off topic but I had to rant;im seeing popup ads From DHgate. now they are counterfeiting morgan dollars, peace dollars, and other old coins. they even have them graded in plastic cases. wouldn't this almost be counterfeiting to a level that the Secret Service or US Govt can do something,or is it because these coins are no longer made that its not a direct threat to our currency? Boy this really brings these crooks to a new level. think of how many unsuspecting people will eventually buy these junk coins and think they are real.For the average joe they will never know that they are buying a sardine can . The coin community is really in for it with these fakes....
 
Maybe this would be better placed in Feedback or even Tech Support? I know it's basically impossible to pick and choose which advertisers get space, but Spark might be able to boot those ads if you bring them to his attention.
 
No one can reproduce any US coin or currency as long as it is still considered "Legal Tender".
Morgans, and Peace dollars ARE still legal tender.

Perhaps what you are seeing are ungraded coins in BS graded condition.
I could start a grading service called US Grading dot com, and set MY own standard(s).

Not illegal. Still a scam however...
