Electrotype of 1793 Liberry Cap cent on eBay
On Aug 18, 1:03*pm, Jon Purkey wrote:
I guess if you are listing a 19th century electro that does not have the copy you should state it was made before the hobby protection rule went into effect so eBay would not be so quick to pull the trigger Sec. 304.6 Marking requirements for imitation numismatic items. (a) An imitation numismatic item which is manufactured in the United States, or imported into the United States for introduction into or distribution in commerce, shall be plainly and permanently marked "COPY". (b) The word "COPY" shall be marked upon the item legibly, conspicuously, and nondeceptively, and in accordance with the further requirements of these regulations. (1) The word "COPY" shall appear in capital letters, in the English language. (2) The word "COPY" shall be marked on either the obverse or the reverse surface of the item. It shall not be marked on the edge of the item. (3) An imitation numismatic item of incusable material shall be incused with the word "COPY" in sans-serif letters having a vertical dimension of not less than two millimeters (2.0 mm) or not less than one-sixth of the diameter of the reproduction, and a minimum depth of three-tenths of one millimeter (0.3 mm) or to one-half (\1/2\) the thickness of the reproduction, whichever is the lesser. The minimum total horizontal dimension of the word "COPY" shall be six millimeters (6.0 mm) or not less than one-half of the diameter of the reproduction. (4) An imitation numismatic item composed of nonincusable material shall be imprinted with the word "COPY" in sans-serif letters having a vertical dimension of not less than two millimeters (2.0 mm) or not less than one-sixth of the diameter of the reproduction. The minimum total horizontal dimension of the word "COPY" shall be six millimeters (6.0 mm) or not less than one-half of the diameter of the reproduction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- No mention of "grandfathering" in old counterfeits. |

Redux: Electrotype of 1793 Liberty Cap cent on eBay
"Ira" wrote in message news:51fb812b-7494- Jim, It was listed under US Coins: Large Cent: Reproductions so no foul there. Thre were 17 sould who had that coin on their watch list. Well, I'll just sell it to the dealer who made me the offer in Long Beach next month. Ira, personally I cannot understand why you even mess with eBay, other than to keep a web presence. For less money than you contribute to Meg Whitman's voluminous holdings, you could have a website created, put together a mailing list of your customers, and not have to deal with all this nonsense. I know how you sell a lot of your coins, even the eBay ones. I know of B&M sellers that branched off eBay started their own sites, and are doing more that way based on established reputation than they did being nobody on eBay. I believe you should also consider the possibility of an email list, I would like to be on it, so I don't have to go snooping on eBay for your goods. Regarding the electrotypes, a link was posted to the electrotypes in the repros section, those are not even good enough to be referred to as electrotypes, they are more like cheapo knockoff BS. The only time I have seen and held an authentic electrotype was one of the Higley coppers from 1737, now that is a piece I wish I had now - I had the chance to buy it, but being a teenager I passed on it for something more mundane. |

If he didn't occasionally put some big ticket coin (which almost invariably doesn't sell) up on eBay, he couldn't come here and blow off about what a big man he thinks he is. To Irastein, money is the be all and end all of everything. He's a shallow little putz with delusions of grandeur. |

I have no idea where you first encountered Ira, scottish, but I first encountered him in these pages several years ago. Since that time I have added over a dozen of his offerings to my collection, some of them his eBay items, others which I commissioned him to find for me. Otherwise, it is likely that I would not have learned of his service. So I'm glad he's here, even if I do heckle him from time to time (I hope the Gentle Readers of this ng interpret it as good-natured heckling!). At this point I have Ira's eBay offerings bookmarked in my browser and learned that way what he had brought back from ANA. It was I, and perhaps others, who goaded him via private email to post a couple items here. If by so doing I have been responsible for the ensuing slugfest, I am truly sorry. James |

Ira must have a great memory, or keep tabs on collectors wants, because I got an email from him a couple of years ago about something I wanted a nice example of, and he had a nice uncleaned, unmessed with original 1799 Bust Dollar, B-10 BB-163. Admittedly that coin was the first American coin I had bought in quite some years. Since then I have been buying nice choice examples of several American, usually 19th century coins. My most recent Ira purchase was a brilliant Unc. 1923, in 65 but all the necessaries for a 66, but at a 65 price. The '23 is posted over in ABPN. |
