Altering any official US coin to change the date or mintmark HAS to fall under this Act, or the Act is meaningless. Are you making the argument that "since a 1909 s coin was used, its perfectly acceptable for someone to add a VDB and not put COPY on it"? Or how about changing a 1944d to a 1914d? Same thing. The intent of the Act was to make all forgeries, alterations, etc illegal.
