<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 8149315, member: 20201&quot;]I&#039;m a little disturbed that it took me close to an hour to compose the first post and probably took 15 seconds to post the following vague warning comment.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not asking for links to be posted here.</p><p>I&#039;d welcome an educational picture of a reproduction. I can only assume</p><p><b>&quot;<i>Reproductions of the top two medals on the left in the OP are on Ebay.</i>&quot;</b></p><p>Which two? I can only guess. Send me a message with reproduction eBay c.smith item links please. I&#039;ll buy one and determine what is repro about it, then follow up here with my findings.</p><p>I can assure you, the medals I posted above here <u><b><i>are not</i></b></u> reproductions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did write:</p><p>The Battle of Lexington, the Daniel Boone, the Lindbergh, the Antarctic Expedition and the Pony Express pieces were all originally issued prior to 1947; <b>Whitehead and Hoag re-struck these medals for Smith from the dies they had used in prior years.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>I suppose we could say that c.smith himself issued his reproductions of previous issues (in white metal) back in 1947.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for a <b>&quot;Warning:&quot;</b></p><p>Anyone could go to most any key, semi key, and many common US and countless other World coins posts on CoinTalk and warn readers that there are reproductions, copies and fakes of them, but why?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
