<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 927175, member: 19463&quot;]This maker is well known and respected in terms of quality product.&nbsp; As I recall he offers most replicas in .999 silver and much cheaper tin with both struck from the same dies.&nbsp; At one point (still???) I believe the tin ones were available unmarked since anyone buying a $1000+ coin should be aware that a tin one is not real (actually that is a higher than appropriate view of some people who spend $1000 without thinking).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There is room for opinion on whether someone making and marking good replicas is a fine artist or a dangerous felon.&nbsp; US law may require they be marked with the word copy but Czech law undoubtedly accepts the bold S signature as sufficient.&nbsp; These make excellent jewelry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Old saying: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
