    Enterprising aren't they??
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Amazing how they could copy them so quick, must have been plated and shipped from overseas to hit the market at the same times than the real ones---------------------BigE

    My guess is the vast majority of modern copy coins that say COPY are made in the US and sold by US businesses to Americans.

    They must have one heck of a skilled artist to have made that coin without possessing an original to work from. No way that thing came from China.

    They might just be the metals gold plated which would be quite easy to do. Quite a few have already been delivered by the Mint.

    The medals are a lot bigger and are not Proof, they are probably using a pic of the real thing, even though this auction states "copy" it is very misleading with the use of the word "Gold"......... Also it does not say what the "copy" is made of..

    I agree. That is a genuine coin they are using, because they don't have the copies yet.

    It says copy on the reverse around the edge.

    I think this thread has some overreaction in it. This is a legal copy with the word "copy" stamped on the reverse in compliance with US law. i also bet that it is made in the US. I'm suprised how fast they could get them out--as someone speculated they must have done it w/o one to copy.
