Does anyone know the "true" story of the Fugio New Haven Restrikes?

I was looking thru a thread by forum member Stefanie (coinsarefun) this morning and in the 4th post of that thread she brought up a link to a website that offered information on Fugios in general. I had never heard before what was offered on this site regarding the Restrikes...

Presently I own one of these pieces in a PCGS holder and am in the process of selling it to a fellow board member through the BST. I do not wish to misrepresent this piece and am confused by the information offered on the site that Stephanie linked.
If, indeed, these pieces are not made from reworked original dies and are actually made from dies made at the Waterbury Mint... and, hence, are really just fantasy pieces... why would they be holdered by the major TPG's?
Does anyone know the real story here? Is there even any way for anyone to be certain of the origin of these
pieces we commonly refer to as "Fugio New Haven Restrikes"?...
edit for spelling, as is par for the course for me...

Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free

<< <i>I thought I heard that they were not restrikes, technically, and they were not from New Haven, CT (which, by the way, is the location of the ghetto that Longacre grew up in). I think CCU provided a good answer in another thread about a year and a half ago. >>
I believe I just found that thread...I somehow missed it the first time round...

I guess that sort of answers my question...
