[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2316919, member: 4781"]I did quote you exactly (verbatim cut/paste). Regardless, in both cases, the end result is NOT a [I]copy[/I] of the original, it is an [I]alteration[/I] of the original. The can still has the original label on it, except that it was over-printed. If you make your own can of soup using your own ingredients and your own pieces of metal and put your own copy of a Campbell's label on it, THEN it becomes a copy (or counterfeit) of a can of Campbell's soup. My previous automobile analogy still applies. Another reason this comparison fails is that I never claimed that the original coins that I over-struck were my "own work". In fact, the certificates that I provide with them state the name of the original designer. I only claim that I have over-struck them using a fantasy date. Like it or not, my fantasy-date over-strikes have become recognized numismatic items in their own right.[/QUOTE]
