<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1001595, member: 66&quot;]The first section of that law has nothing to do with &quot;fraudulent intent&quot; so that&#039;s a red herring.&nbsp; So if the Chinese were to come over here and start overstriking genuine 1889 morgan dollars with 1889 CC dies that would be fine because they used a real legal tender dollar?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This isn&#039;t the Hobby Protection Act.&nbsp; I will agree though that the two laws are at odds with each other.&nbsp; On e forbids you to make the dies while the other allows it as long as you mark the pieces COPY afterwards.&nbsp; (And the Hobby Protection Act forbids the making of something that looks like a real numismatic item without marking it counterfeit.&nbsp; You overstruck pieces DO look like a genuine numismatic item, a 2009 ASE and a 1964-D Peace dollar.&nbsp; In my opinion they ar in violation of the HPA as well.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My reply is the same as the previous one as well.&nbsp; The law makes it illegal to make them in the likeness of any US coin&nbsp; You would have to admit you piece LOOKS LIKE a 2009 ASE.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
