that’s one problem with gold coins. they are easy to debase and pass off as real money

[MarineBrat]

Stories posted yesterday indicated that this company wasn’t necessarily doing anything illegal. So which way is it? Since the story came from CNN I’ll err on the side of a grain of salt.

Wendy Osborne, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Indianapolis office, declined to comment and referred all questions to the U.S. attorney's office for the Western District of North Carolina. Suellen Pierce, a spokeswoman for that office, also declined to comment.

Most likely, this means the investigation is still ongoing. There should be more to this story. We'll have to wait and see.

In Ron they trust.

A few people pointed out that Ron Paul does not run this business concern. His face may appear on some of the coins, but I don’t think this title is accurate, “Illegal Ron Paul Currency Seized [more deatils, re: the ongoing “Liberty Dollar” follies]”

While I don’t think it was wise of Paul to let them use his likeness on the coins, and he may have received financial remunertion, he wasn’t an official of the company.

I’m not a Paul supporter by any means, but I don’t like the idea of making it look like this was his company.

Does this mean that I have to turn in my Zoo Dollars.

We had all better learn to make our own money (a la moonshine)because if the Lib/Socialists get into power they will be taking it away faster than we can earn it.

[jrsmc]

Is it any wonder that those who collect gold are paranoid about confiscation ?

Waco ... Elian ... and now Baron von Nut House ... But, unless the Feds are kicking in my door, I refuse to believe in conspiracy.

Just keep on repeating ... There are no black helicopters. Posse Comitatus has not been repealed. We need not concern ourselves with civil liberties. They’re only after the terrorists.

Those silver coins are going for over $200.

[BlazingArizona]

Dangit! I was hoping to use a bunch of those bills to buy some investment buildings on Baltic and Mediterranean Avenues.

It’s a great scam. He sells his silver coins with a cost of about $10 or paper with a cost of about 20 cents. he charges $20.00 in real moeny for it, with a promise to redeem it for real US moeny again any time you want it.

But they are rarely redeemed. So the “issuer” sells 20 cents of paper for 20 dollars....

Now he can keep all the real dollars he has hidden, claiming Uncle Fed took all his funds.

To us, he holds himself out to be Conservative. To the anti-war leftist, he is one of them. To the Ronpaulians, he is..........

It’s a scam, and a good one

[cynwoody]

If you have one of these, and you support Ron Paul, you are a Paul bearer twice over.

They've already changed businesses at the Liberty Coin store:

Before:

After:

[editor-surveyor]

There is nothing illegal about anything that they have ever produced.

This is due to the impending total collapse of the dollar, and nothing else.

[mysterio]

It’s funny, if Ron Paul’s name wasn’t mentioned, this thread would be about how the government shouldn’t have raided the business. lol
