I don&#039;t believe we disagree, merely that we aren&#039;t having an objective conversation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m certain that we&#039;ve both the capabilities to agree.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve cited examples of virtually perfect replication, presented&nbsp; to the elite TPG who seemingly couldn&#039;t and didn&#039;t confirm/deny authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>If one were to visit China and understand their system for technological development, an objective intellect would appreciation the unusual marriage between government and developers. A believed unusual system of support by government to developers of technology advancement which would benefit their entire society.</p><p><br /></p><p>Advanced technology in China, as I&#039;ve been informed, generally is a cooperative effort between intelligence and government once feasibility of concept is established. Funding for technological advancement is often majorly supplied by government.</p><p><br /></p><p>Commonplace technology as replication, generally wouldn&#039;t be applied by &quot;peasant Chinese forgers&quot; towards production of inexpensive coin specimens.</p><p><br /></p><p>The commonplace technology has been utilized by savy individuals to produce coins as a 1909P gem condition Double Eagle, and others of which I&#039;ve examples, and have had analyzed by some of those deemed to be supremely qualified.</p><p><br /></p><p>A doubter should probably visit China. I believe they could readily view facilities that proudly display capability for Gem (or lesser) quality replication.</p><p><br /></p><p>My critic is probably correct that the Mint facilities are archaic relative to existing world technology capabilities.&nbsp; He may also be correct that laser technology is incapable of machining replicated coin pieces. I don&#039;t believe I&#039;ve inferred usage in that fashion. I used the technology on many parts in unique pieces of equipment which I designed, and depth control is very limited, generally only recommended for 2D machining application.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe if one understands how a U.S. Mint mechanical replication process from hand carved 3D designs is capable of producing a U.S. standard for PR70 quality, they may then understand how replication of existing products could be advanced. If my understanding is incorrect because of fallibility, I&#039;d appreciate an objective detailed correction by one espoused to be a peer, or of superior knowledge. I accept this site as a venue for knowledge advancement, and would defer to an improved understanding of my communicative error.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
