<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 8262505, member: 77639&quot;]I’ve met and chatted with DC a couple of times, and he’s a really nice guy.&nbsp; There is no way his “St. Gaudins” pieces would be confused with the real thing.&nbsp;&nbsp; Prominent shield in the left-hand vs olive branch.&nbsp; And speaking of copying the real thing, the mint has done that with the gold eagle bullion coins and extremely high relief coin of 2009.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes, the mint commissioned the original design, but the original hubs or dies weren’t used for the new coins.&nbsp; The modern coins are productions of modern folk, and the new coins have slightly different design elements.&nbsp; And it’s no problem at all to find bullion rounds by many private companies with the St. Gaudins’ design; it’s repeated endlessly.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I’ve never bought a DC “coin” and probably never will.&nbsp; I prefer to put my money into coins issued by government-owned mints.&nbsp; And I’ll run out of money and time before my want list of those is filled.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
