<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2142175, member: 22331&quot;]Doug, Thank you very much for locating the link which I was certain had been posted in the past. It originally piqued my interest to investigate the quality of these replicas after acquiring literature from several competent firms producing these products in China.</p><p><br /></p><p>My interest in the subject was only academic, as I had previously traveled the world studying technology after being hired by the owner of a custom automated production equipment firm. The owner had given me power of attorney to study, select appropriate employees/equipment, to develop/build/install equipment which would give them world-wide &quot;market share&quot; for automated production equipment within 3 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>The previously assigned employment goal had been accomplished, and the firms greatest international competitor purchased the privately owned firm. I had served my purpose, and moved on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was now an Engineering Design Specialist managing a new internal custom design/build organization which I convinced a prominent 80,000+ employee Fortune 500 firm of a need.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my ongoing lab customers was a Chinese scientist who had brought me patent documents, asking if I could reverse engineer, improve, and build prototypes for new technology. Goal accomplished!</p><p><br /></p><p>Our relationship was so rewarding for him, that he anonymously joined with other &quot;customers&quot; to nominate me for the &quot;Designer Of The Year&quot; award selected from nominations by internal companies who developed new technology with various internal engineering groups assistance. I won the award!</p><p><br /></p><p>I believed that if I privately educated this scientist who regularly returned to his homeland, and supplied him with TPG certified Key/Semi-Key coin specimens, he could locate the best facilities to acquire quality copies, having authentic material, toleranced dimensions/weights. Goal accomplished!</p><p><br /></p><p>The replicas I eventually received for my collection of self-encapsulated/sealed marked copy on encapsulation, I believe are virtually undetectable by &quot;authorities&quot;, or so it has appeared.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
