<p>[QUOTE=&quot;laz, post: 10502, member: 53&quot;]Yeah it&#039;s a cease and desist order that effectively stops the series.Tom contacted <i>Tolkien Enterprises </i>which owns the marketing rights for the <u>Lord of the Rings</u>.He requested a licencing agreement,what he got was a snotty reply :?&nbsp; about a year later from their lawyer stating basically he was in no position to ask for a licencing agreement,and that all production must imediately stop.The lawyer went on to state <i>Tolkien Enterprises&nbsp; </i>is not evenrequired to respond to his request. :roll: </p><p>I&#039;m coing to do a article for Mint Error News Magazine about this series and the crumby way <i>Tolkien Enterprises </i>reacted to a polite formal request.</p><p>Granted,the reply might have been better if it came before the coin series had been produced,but maybe not.I see Canada is producing &quot;<u>Lord of the Rings</u> Coins&quot; (more like medals) so perhaps the <b>RCM</b> has sole rights for producing coins for the LOTR,I don&#039;t know what the deal is. It does end a great series of coins though,and that,I&#039;m dead set against! ~ Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
