<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 1116242, member: 5787"]As an engineer and a person who has been to China and somewhat understands the level of their ability, I will have to ask a few questions on DC's last post. China is extremely good at reverse engineering. They have a very skilled and educated workforce. Their capital investments for machining are often top notch and well financed. They are already manufacturing high technology items purchased by many of us everyday. It may help to have designed a coin for the US Mint but it certainly isn't a necessity. They have plenty of time to practice that art until they can hone their skills. The black market Chinese Coin Shops are already faking coins to a degree that fools many of us. If China can make a stealth bomber and a nuclear weapon, I think that a high quality over-stirking die isn't out of the question. The Denver Mint coin press isn't the latest and greatest technology for over-striking coins. It can be copied as-is although the Chinese would probably make it better. As far as over-striking a coin near Denver, I don't see why that makes any difference at all. Heck, half the stuff in my home comes from China.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
