<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 1694418, member: 23692&quot;]I have no problem with people making &quot;replicas&quot; of ancients, as long as &quot;copy&quot; or &quot;replica&quot; is molded as part of the die or casting.&nbsp; However, I DO have a problem with those that just can be &quot;stamped&quot; or &quot;punched&quot; as copy or replica ... those kind can be bought from the maker without the punches or stamps.&nbsp; Honest replicas are sold for education or having something that can&#039;t be purchased otherwise.&nbsp; What started this thread off was someone selling both coins and dies with the intention of misleading the purchaser or could end up that way.&nbsp; This has nothing to do with counterfeiting, but has clearly been classified as &quot;fraud&quot; both in the US and Canada .. and probably every other civilized Western country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
