ccg Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Contemporary counterfeit, yes. Moderns- yes, if it something I need for a type set, and the quality is reasonably good, otherwise no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Goldsborough Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I believe that coin copies are the numismatic equivalent of devil worship. It doesn't matter what kind of copy, whether ancient counterfeit (fouree), ancient imitation, modern replica, old modern forgery, new modern forgery, whatever, they're all exactly the same. Exactly. They're pure evil, and anyone who even thinks about collecting them should be reported to the International Bureau of Numismatic Standards and Puritanism, which has as its U.N.-chartered purpose the promulgation of what's collectable and what's not. Copies are not collectable, neither are they collectible, and above all else nobody here should ever write that they're collectuble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I have restrikes but no copiesI might buy a copy if it was not a mini but the same size ,weight and material as the original I have only one restrike that is not a legal coin: a 1990 Estonian 1 krone that I purchased that same year. It greatly interested me as the Soviet Union was still around and Estonia had not yet regained its independence. I thought it was a bold gesture by the Estonians. Other than that I have only one copy, and that is of a Russian coin that was in a bag of other coins that was given me. It is a poor cast copy with the word "COPY" stamped in it. I do not ever intend on buying any copies. I do not care for them. I want either the real thing or than I will settle for syzygy's method.
