定義

• Copyist.  In engraving, a person who copies a coin or medal; one who duplicates a die (but not by hubbing). Copyists can be counterfeiters, legitimate diesinkers (or the person who issues the pieces). Their legal status depends upon their intent.  See copies and replicas.  Some famous American copyists who reproduced Colonial American coins include Dr. Montroville Wilson Dickeson (a medical doctor who collected and wrote on American coins), John Adams Bolen (a diesinker), Alfred S. Robinson and Thomas L. Elder (both coin dealers). See struck copy.
