[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 834590, member: 7957"]I think it rather ironic that your link for the mint should virtually remove my hope of winning. Take a look at their example counterfeit half eagle. It violates the law as I read it definitely 2 ways and likely 3. 1) [I]vertical dimension of not less than two millimeters (2.0 mm) or not less than one-sixth of the diameter of the reproduction[/I] - Their example is about 1/12th the diameter. 2) [I]the word "COPY'' shall be six millimeters (6.0 mm) or not less than one-half of the diameter of the reproduction[/I] - Their word is 20 - 25% the diameter of the reproduction. 3) [I]minimum depth of three-tenths of one millimeter (0.3 mm) or to one-half (1/2) the thickness of the reproduction[/I] - I cannot measure the depth of the lettering, but I sincerely doubt that is 1/2 the thickness of the reproduction.[/QUOTE]
