[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1416888, member: 26302"]But these are laws to prosecute people with. Therefor, it has to be describing the ACT that could be PUNISHABLE. Big difference between that and what I am asking about. I guess I am not trying to ask what legal case we could build, but what others classify coins as. Personally I am with Hontania. I recognize various types of coins; 1. Original 2. Contemporary counterfeits, (made at the time to be spent, collectible today) 3. Artistic reproductions, (Paduan replicas, the mint in AR that used to strike coins) 4. Counterfeits. Everything else, made to fool collectors. This is simply the definitions I, and many others, use. I just wanted to talk about it and see if I was simply losing it, since in some discussions this definition seems to have been foreign to many. Now, if someone wishes to argue that something is an artistic reproduction versus counterfeit, then I am open to that. It was simply the definitions that people were throwing around of what constitutes a counterfeit coin. If people disagree with this classification I would love to hear about it. Chris Btw, I am not ruling out the idea that someone could immune from the verb counterfeiting, and still be creating a counterfeit coin. They could be two different things.[/QUOTE]
