[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2512148, member: 4781"]That statute is conflicted by the later Hobby Protection Act of 1974, which allows molds and dies in the likeness of US coins to be legally produced and possessed. Otherwise, the makers of every reproduction coin (including various Indian Head Bison silver rounds, for example), produced since 1974 would be in violation. But they aren't. I challenge you to find one post-1974 court case where someone was convicted under this statute when there was no fraud involved. If Warhol was here right now you'd probably be jealous about how his painting of a Campbell's soup can label sold for millions of dollars and whining about how it was a copyright violation. [SIZE=4] [/SIZE] So, you get all upset when the silver round at the beginning of this thread is called "generic". But you just called some other similarly-designed pieces "beyond-cheesy". I feel like invoking your favorite word here ... :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
