Maybe you could sue the government for making copies of your 2012 ASE? :) Frankly you would still have the problem that your 2012 ASE that you make this year is "in likeness or similitude" to a US coin. Because if you can admit that a 2008 ASE is LIKE a 2009 ASE even though they are not completely the same, then your 2012 ASE is LIKE their 2010 ASE even though the dates are different.[/QUOTE]
