<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 779614, member: 66&quot;]As long as you marked them COPY in accordance with the requirements of the Hobby Protection Act, you could possibly get away with it.&nbsp; For a non-incusable item such as this the word COPY would have to be in san-serif letters one inch high and the word would have to be 3.3 inches long.</p><p><br /></p><p>After re-reading the HPA I have come to the conclusion that MOST of the copies being sold on TV are actually not in compliance.&nbsp; We normally think that the word COPY has to be 2 mm high by 6 mm long, but that is the MINUMUM size!&nbsp; The actual law says 2 mm or not less than 1/6th of the diameter by 6mm or not less than 1/2 of the diameter.&nbsp; If the item is more than 12 mm in diameter the second size requirement (1/6th by 1/2 ) is the one that applies.&nbsp; This means that that gold buffalo with 31 mg of gold they are advertising needs to have COPY on it 5.45 mm high by 16.35 mm long.&nbsp; They don&#039;t come close to that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wait I take that all back. The 2mm by 6mm is legal.&nbsp; They don&#039;t make it clear in the language of the law.&nbsp; The 1/6th by 1/2 requirement is for those items LESS than 12 mm in diameter.&nbsp; So 2mm X 6 mm COPY is fine for your $500 tribute note according to the law.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
