I will ignore it from here on. </p><p><br /></p><p>It does not matter how perfect your product is made or how pure the gold, silver or copper is that goes into it. Collector want pieces that were made in the year or, in the cases of some early American coins, within the time frame they were made. They don’t want a coin that was made six months ago dated “1800” masquerading as the real thing. </p><p><br /></p><p>When the Chinese perfect their counterfeiting procedures, commercial and even academic numismatics will be ruined. Think of what it will be like when there are hundreds of “genuine 1913 Liberty nickels.” The fun will be gone from the hobby for many collectors. This is similar to the situation where the Chinese steal our patents. It’s not legal and respectful other countries’ systems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
