<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 3438598, member: 24633&quot;]There is a difference between a &quot;copy&quot; and a &quot;replica&quot;. A copy is produced from a <b>known design</b> but a replica may be produced from the <u>description</u> of an unknown design. If you read the information contained in the Red Book about the New Hampshire Half Penny, you will note that it does not include an image of any design that was proposed by William Moulton. It is believed that he cast patterns that were never approved, and there is no evidence that any coins were ever circulated. Therefore, any coin like the one you posted is highly suspect. </p><p><br /></p><p>How can you expect anyone to post a photo of a<b> real one</b> when a<b> real one</b> doesn&#039;t really exist? Furthermore, the legislation that required the word &quot;COPY&quot; to be stamped on facsimile coins is not that old. Many of these replicas were produced long before it ever became a law.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
