<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1003698, member: 15199&quot;]It is obvious that your mind is set, and any arguments form others will not affect that. I see you no different from a Chinese counterfeiter who claims that he is functioning within Chinese law ( which he is). If they were sold only in China, and didn&#039;t make it to the secondary markets, who in the US would care. But of course they do make it to the secondary market, and end up here to the detriment of novices and experienced alike. I respected you as a medalist and a design artist, but I do not respect you as a numismatist. Your 1964-D creations will make it to the secondary market here and abroad, and will impact many. However, I respect your right to challenge the government, although I must say I hope you lose big. Nothing personal, just my outlook on the effect to novices. How would putting &quot;COPY&quot; on the reverse of your coin, change your &quot;vision&quot;? Most would just look at the obverse. I suspect it would only sell for the normal &quot;copy coin&quot; rate for silver bullion. IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also what surprises me more is that ATing coins is more legal IMO, than your operation, as the coin remains the same coin. No metal &quot;shoved&quot; around at all. So I guess my opinion based on you, is that selling AT coins for whatever the market will permit, as long as the seller does not opinion as to whether the color is AT or NT is a &quot;visioning&quot; process also. Numismatics is becoming like the gem business, synthetics are &quot;real&quot; if you can&#039;t tell the difference. Anyway, thanks for reading my opinions, but I have said what I felt I had to say.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
