Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1939628, member: 36230"]So, in your own words, everything about the coin is copied other than the date and mintmark. With all due respect, sir; the fact that you're "modifying" someone else's work does not rightfully make it your own. Even the "modified" date is of the same style as the original, so this would leave the mintmark; do you honestly believe that such a minor change to an otherwise original design justifies it no longer being called a copy? "Copying"/"modifying", To-may-to, to-mah-to. Again, I very much respect what you do and think it brilliant how you've exploited such an obvious, yet unfulfilled niche. However and no matter how much work you put into producing the US "fantasy" issues, the fact remains that you've taken someone else's design, copied it, and then changed it just enough to suit your needs while still allowing for it to very much resemble the original (design). This, and semantics aside, by definition, is a copy. COPY:-a thing made to be similar or identical to another. As the other gentleman said, none of this is new and while some of the participants may have changed, most of us have been through this before. Thank you for coming and again adding your two-cents, sir.[/QUOTE]
