<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1280675, member: 17919&quot;]Basically, what you are doing is abetting counterfeiters, yes counterfeiters, because every single US coin produced by any of the US mints from 1793 onward is considered to be legal tender; thus, making reproductions of said coins without incusing the word COPY, per US law, is counterfeiting legal currency. Also, knowingly importing non-complying coins into the United States is a violation of the Hobby Protection Act. It doesn&#039;t matter that they&#039;re made in China-- what does matter is you are wittingly importing US coins that you know are counterfeit and are not marked as such.</p><p><br /></p><p>And even though you claim to have no intention of selling your non-complying reproductions as genuine items, what is to stop unscrupulous people from passing off similar fakes as the real McCoy? What is to stop someone, for example, from buying a bunch of &quot;1877&quot; Indian Head pennies from Chinese Counterfeits Unlimited, carrying them around in his pocket for a year or so to give them a more authentic look, and then passing them off as genuine coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
