<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1008878, member: 26302"]I understand they say that, but you know rumors persist. Why choose the 64d as the fantasy coin? It is simply because they DID exist, which is why I think the recreation slips over to alteration that is covered by the Hobby Act. It is not as if a 65d or 63d was struck, it is specifically a coin that WAS MADE, regardless whether any currently exist. This is exactly like other coins listed above, they were KNOWN to have been made, so any reproduction of them by definition falls under the hobby act. To do otherwise shreds the act and if US collectors stand by and let this happen then they have no right whatsoever to ask the US to stop the Chinese counterfeits. We forfeit that right if some forgeries are ok but others are not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.
