<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2172606, member: 28107&quot;]Doug is correct on the HPA stuff.&nbsp; The Hobby Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. 2106, clearly defines the term:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 2101 (C) authorizes the FTC to promulgate administrative regulations which carry the full force of law to effect the HPA. It has done so in 16 CFR 304.1 which expands upon the definition of &quot;imitation numismatic item&quot; defined in 15 U.S.C. 2106 and has clarified it to include &quot;an original numismatic item which has been altered or modified in such a manner that it could reasonably purport to be an original numismatic item other than the one which was altered or modified.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Peace Dollars unequivocally circulated in the U.S. are part of an issue of United States Coinage and are &quot;original numismatic items.&quot;&nbsp; Your process makes a Peace Dollar look to be a date and issue other than what it truly is; thus, it is making &quot;an original numismatic item which has been altered...in such a manner that it could reasonably purport to be an original numismatic item...&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
