I personally have NEVER seen a numismatic replica that has &quot;COPY&quot; on BOTH sides. So that means for all those numismatic replicas out there, the maker of them had at least one die without &quot;COPY&quot; on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the HPA does not specify that the dies themselves must have &quot;COPY&quot; on them. It only stipulates that replicas of &quot;original numismatic items&quot; must be marked &quot;COPY&quot; in one location. So the &quot;COPY&quot; stamp could legally be impressed into the replica only <i>after</i> it has been struck. Some legal replicas are produced in this manner, which means that the maker had BOTH dies without &quot;COPY&quot; on them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
