Only those produced since 1973, when the Hobby Protection Act was passed. Edited by ExoGuy 02/02/2016 3:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 3:32 pm No, simply because the vast majority of electrotypes pre-date the Hobby Protection Act of 1973 by many decades. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 5:19 pm This was discussed on another forum a day or two ago. I don't believe it is an electrotype, I believe it is just a modern fake. Quote: Shouldn't all electrotype'd coins say COPY like Moe's does since it is not an original? Only if it was made after 1973. (Frankly I don't know of anyone making electrotypes anymore. Casting is easier, and die struck copies allow for a much larger production run giving them more fakes to sell.) Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54282 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 08:46 am Where is ebay's coin selling policy does it say that replicas or counterfeit coins are OK to sell if they are done a long time ago (contemporary counterfeits), or that it is OK if they are "collectible"? If I list a fake 1909-S VDB, but call it a highly collectible contemporary, then that is OK? Seems like a huge loophole to me.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 08:58 am It seems I read some where that the contemporary counterfeit micro "o" Morgans are against ebay policy and they pre-date the hobby protection act as well. Where is the line? Edited by dave700x 02/04/2016 09:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
