<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2609987, member: 28107"]If someone mistakes your pieces even for a common date and pays MS66, MS67, or even MS68 money (which some of your pieces would grade that high if authentic, original coins), then the person is being screwed over royally. Ditto for your 1915 half dollars, dimes, and quarters and all of your other "fantasy" creations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your ability to replicate official U.S. coins with a high level of accuracy and precision also undermines faith in the integrity of government obligations/currency. If an engineer in Colorado can produce coins of this quality with some incidental ghosting from an original coin, then it is not a stretch to imagine that he (or anyone else for that matter) can do the same over virgin planchets. There is a reason that Congress used its Article I, Section 8 constitutional powers to grant it an exclusive monopoly over producing disks, tokens, coins, etc., in the resemblance or similitude of U.S. money. It doesn't matter what your intent is and whether your believe there is any harm or not, the law provides that the pieces must not be made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
