I don't think 3-D printing will ever be able to produce a convincing fake. That is, unless or until a Star Trek "replicator" device can assemble...
Please post a reference about this particular incident so we can analyze it. Assuming that this did actually occur, what coins were utilized to...
"thou doth protest too much" ? Several reasons have been given. You chose to ignore them. We are talking about a genuine coin which has been...
The OP presented a coin as a dangerous new Chinese fake. Later in this thread, the authenticity of the coin was brought into question. I believe...
Not many artists want to put "COPY" on their work. And not many art buyers/patrons want works that have "COPY" on them. Andy Warhol never put...
You continue with the inflammatory posts that do not provide anything of substance. The implications of your post are based on faulty premises:...
Because you don't like them doesn't make it wrong either.
Most of my dies are still useable (but are scrapped) when a mintage of an issue is concluded. The most I've ever struck from a single die pair is...
I mint in batches as orders come in. All orders placed prior to May 15 were shipped last week. Later this week I expect to be fully caught up on...
We have not recently heard from the Original Poster. I'd like to read their reply to some of the questions raised here recently.
Like I said before, a 3-D printed coin will appear less like a genuine coin than a traditional counterfeit. A "printed" metal coin will be...
Laser etching can be used to engrave dies, but it is not optimal for designs that have subtle changes in relief height. It also leaves a slightly...
When a coin is struck, the metal is stressed and stretched in a certain way. The result is a distinctive ring sound that the struck coin will have...
Yes, a 3-D printed coin could potentially fool some people. But they wouldn't be any more deceptive than a typical cast counterfeit.
You grossly underestimate (ignore) the amount of encouragement that I receive from the "numismatic community". Some of the top numismatists alive...
Yes, the technology will improve. But the luster of a struck coin can not be matched by a cast coin. And a 3-D printed coin would never have the...
When talking about fine lines that transfer during the hubbing or striking process, I was referring to the situation where the fine lines are...
I'm doubting that the coin is counterfeit. And so it isn't "scary" at all to me. PS: 3-D printing will never be able to produce fakes that will...
There are some arc lines on the OP coin that could be lathe lines. Or they could be die abrading scratches. The key identifier is whether or not...
So it appears that the lathe lines are the supposed (undisclosed) "tell" that the coin is counterfeit ? If this is the "tell" that is being kept...
Separate names with a comma.
