"Whoever, without lawful authority, makes any die, hub, or mold, or any part thereof, either of steel or plaster, or any other substance, in likeness or similitude, as to the design or the inscription thereon, of any die, hub, or mold designated for the coining or making of any of the genuine gold, silver, nickel, bronze, copper, or other coins coined at the mints of the United States; or Whoever, without lawful authority, possesses any such die, hub, or mold, or any part thereof, or permits the same to be used for or in aid of the counterfeiting of any such coins of the United States" 18 U.S. Code § 487 - Making or possessing counterfeit dies for coins But you're right... quoting Warhol is more fun and, of course, deflective. As an aside, after thinking more about your earlier position regarding premiums paid and what they must mean, it dawned on me that the beyond-cheesy plated "tribute proofs" do just that and at times to a level even your copies fail to achieve. At first I thought you were in good company, but then realized that at least they have the decency to call a dog a dog and mark their copies as being a "copy". [/QUOTE]
