I think this guy did some research about his coin, and included a reference picture he found. I don't think his intention was to steal the image. Report this Post to the Staff

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 12:19 pm Using the word "Steal" is a bit strong. Even copyrighted material can be reproduced without permission if it is solely used for educational purposed, which is what this guy is obviously doing. Report this Post to the Staff

Would have been nice if he had, but nothing to get upset about. Report this Post to the Staff
