<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 932326, member: 15199&quot;]I am sorry not to reference my comment.</p><p><a href="http://coinsblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/america-beautiful-trademark-owned-by-us.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinsblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/america-beautiful-trademark-owned-by-us.html" rel="nofollow">http://coinsblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/america-beautiful-trademark-owned-by-us.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I was saying that the U.S. Mint refused the use of the words &quot;America the Beautiful&quot; on TPG slabs as the Mint claims it is theirs by trademark. Now I really feel that the phrase has been used so much through time, that it is public domain, but not to the government it seems.</p><p><br /></p><p>No that phrase is not on this package, but I could see the U.S.Mint/Treasury Dept, feeling that the &quot;CC&quot; on the medal looks to be a similar font to the &quot;CC&quot; used on US coins by the real Carson City mint and object to their usage as they did for &quot;America the Beautiful&quot;. I feel they have been &quot;heavy handed&quot; once, so why not twice. Sorry about assuming everyone was aware of the previous event.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim</p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
