[QUOTE="AmishJedi, post: 6260138, member: 114568"]In my post, I explained that these coins (I bought them last month just to see the quality of these fakes for educational purposes) DO NOT have "COPY" on them - I expected them to, as you point out by law. This is probably a big selling point for them as the word gets out. As you can see in the image on the page (link I provided) the word "COPY" is [B]printed[/B] on the image and not engraved/stamped. Here is the coin. They are almost comical in color, weight, and as you mentioned "they just look wrong". They do, however, show "wear" (artificial made) and scratches. The coin came just as it is here: [ATTACH=full]1247930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1247931[/ATTACH] Such a shame - I made sure to label this as "REPLICA/FAKE" so if I get hit by a bus and my boys try to cash it in, they can save themselves and potential buyers some trouble. :-)[/QUOTE]
