[LARC-CQ] Value of coins

[Jimmy Russ]

Unless someone was actively advocating the assassination of a public official (which I'm quite sure would be a violation of F.C.C. rules) I don't see the problem. Sounds to me like it was simply a statement of fact.

While I understand that ham radio is "self-policing", I don't see a problem here.

One of the fellows remarked that the coins being made with President Trumps image were just plated copper and wouldn't have any value unless he was assassinated.
