<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jhonn, post: 238764, member: 5418&quot;]I don&#039;t collect any copies of rare U.S. coins or anything of that sort, but I do have a gold 1945 Mexican 2 peso piece and an infamous Maria Teresa thaler. Both are official restrikes made by the issuing countries (though the thaler I believe was issued more specifically by a German/Austrian bank?) and as a result, don&#039;t have to include &#039;COPY&#039; anywhere on the coin, though there are other signs that prove they are not original. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone else here collect restrikes? I feel like it&#039;s a good way to have something very close to the original but within most people&#039;s budget. I think the gold piece is made from the original dies, too, though I don&#039;t think the same applies to the thaler.</p><p><br /></p><p>On that note, are there any other common restrikes I should know about? I would like to start collecting a few more. :whistle:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
