<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2156690, member: 36230&quot;]Practical or impossible? Considering these so-called &quot;fantasy&quot; pieces you&#039;ve claimed are not a &quot;copy&quot; of the originals, I would think it something you could do if you wished to do so. Let&#039;s finally be honest here, dropping the deflection, loopholes, claims to the date itself being your &quot;signature&quot; and look at this for what it really is; a gimmick that has worked well for you. You, contrary to your claims, copied the original design for very good reason. It is a &quot;fantasy&quot; coin so you could have used any design, including one of your own, but chose not to for one simple reason; money. While you have and continue to openly disclose your markers (which is also, and understanably, self-serving) and should be commended for it, this does not change the fact that in its most basic form what you&#039;ve done, be it for so-called &quot;artistic&quot; reasons or for profit, is copy the work of someone else, and perhaps this is what goes to the very heart of why some view it in a negative light. Popularity does not automatically equal what&#039;s right, and no matter how many (likewise self-serving) dealers have purchased them, or how many collectors enjoy them, you&#039;re walking a very fine line. Your &quot;overstrikes&quot; may not be counterfeits in the classic sense, but please do not insult the intelligence of non-fans by insisting that they are that far off. A copy by any other name is still... a copy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
