See <a href="http://wlmailhtml:{139140BA-C99E-484D-A0F8-28D91B2C585C}mid://00000171/!x-usc:http://www.facebook.com/n/?mefroni%2Fposts%2F117277331670285&mid=3498b5fG28069ed3G7e1f300G37&n_m=paz%40sbcglobal.net" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wlmailhtml:{139140BA-C99E-484D-A0F8-28D91B2C585C}mid://00000171/!x-usc:http://www.facebook.com/n/?mefroni%2Fposts%2F117277331670285&mid=3498b5fG28069ed3G7e1f300G37&n_m=paz%40sbcglobal.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/n/?mefroni%2Fposts%2F117277331670285&mid=3498b5fG28069ed3G7e1f300G37&n_m=paz%40sbcglobal.net</a> In my view, these SHOULD be marked with the word COPY due to the extreme resemblance to existing coins. Just because miniscule details are different (year and mintmark), it does not make it legit to reproduce (or counterfeit, if you like) a coin that was previously made by the US Mint. If a Chinese counterfeit would "produce" a coin that has a slight difference to what was actually minted (such as a different mintmark that was not minted that specific year or an added star somewhere) - would that make it "legit" to sell it without a COPY on it, just because the U.S. Mint never officially made or released this specifically altered coin into the market? I don't think so... And the debate continues... Oded PazFrom freezing cold Idaho[/QUOTE]
