Message:: [QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2178415, member: 34882"]Lol an advisory opinion clearly stating it's a simple non binding opinion from 1978, when there was an actual case of legislation decided later that year via the FTC referenced earlier in the thread. Why don't you send a letter to the department of the treasury yourself and get an updated response regarding what your doing? There's a quite a difference between stamping a symbol into a penny or elongating one at a amusement park versus what you do. Yet even with those counter stamped clearly not U.S. mint altered coins, do you know how many threads get created for coins like that 'laypeople' think are rare valuable errors? If you did send a letter and get a similar response it would pretty much put the issue completely to rest right? You could include pictures, maybe even an over strike or two and ask them yourself if it's legal to duplicate United States coinage in likeness and design sans labeling as a 'copy'? Unless of course like your public comments on the HPA suggest it's just your opinion and interpretation that it's legal or that it should be. I don't think anyone would argue against a current letter addressed to yourself from the treasury giving even a simple opinion that what you do is legal. Why not put the issue to rest and contact them regarding it?[/QUOTE]
